Post by **Jim Price** » Sunday May 04, 2003

Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the May 4 edition of Q94's weekly local music program, "The Backyard Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on WBRX 94.3 and WBXQ 94.7.

Thanks to the members of Johnstown's Pivot for introducing us to the brand of hard-hitting modern rock, and discussing their live show, passion for their music and more. We heard a pair of tracks the group recently recorded, plus two songs singer Mark Lux recorded during his brief stint with Pittsburgh's Creep. In addition, we premiered new tunes from Seventh Hour, Darcie Miner Band, Way Down East and Mean Streak.

This week's playlist:

HOUR ONE:

NEVERMOURE – “Psycho”
EMILY’S TOYBOX – “Acappella”
PIVOT – “Drown”
