BACKYARD ROCKER 7/20/03

[Jim Price]

Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the July 20 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 Deviance for roadtripping in to appear on the program. Featuring former members of The Embalmed and Stone Krow, Deviance combines the brute-force heaviness of the former and the melodic edge of the latter into a unique style and sound all their own. We heard several hard-hitting tracks the group recently recorded, and got inside the group's music and powerful live show. In addition, we debuted new tracks from Anarchaos, Paco's Virus and X-Calibur; and we recalled The Embalmed for our “Local Music Flashback.” In all, a lively, hard-hitting two hours.
