Listeners heard new tunes from Like A Movie, Little Buddy, Jennifer Drummey and the Small Band, Punchline, The Jellybricks, Spirit Lost, We Are Forever, Safari So Good, Stasis and The Courage Pills. We also updated Local Music News, and reviewed Nitekast’s The Beginning and the End CD in “The Professor’s CD Corner.”

Clint was also the drummer for popular Altoona rock band The Front, and he’ll fill us in on details about The Front’s upcoming 25th anniversary reunion concert, happening on Thanksgiving weekend. Along the way, we’ll update Local Music News, and review The Jellybricks’ latest CD, Goodnight to Everyone, in “The Professor’s CD Corner!” Clint Carothers visits the “Homegrown Rocker,” next Sunday night!

In Local Music News.
Johnstown’s Inside Out is getting closer to releasing their new full-length
album. In advance of that release, the group has issued a three-song EP
called Unbreakable. That EP is available at the group’s shows.
Johnstown heavy metallists The Embalmed have issued their new self-titled CD. That disc can be purchased at the group’s shows, and will soon be available for purchase online.
And Felix & the Hurricanes are headed back to prison. For the seventh year, the Hurricanes will be doing a performance tour of Pennsylvania state penitentiaries, bringing their brand of classic and blues-flavored rock to captive audiences. At present, this year’s tour stands at 24 state prison facilities. Rocky 104.9 does not advocate listeners committing criminal acts so they can attend these Hurricanes performances!
