Here is the recap of the August 2 edition of Rocky 104.9's weekly local music program, "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on WRKY-FM (www.rocky1049.com).
Thanks to our guests; guitarist Mike Palone, singer Pat “Bones” Bono and drummer Keith Kweder of Pittsburgh metal rockers Skell (www.skellrocks.com), for making the roadtrip in to Altoona to appear on this week’s program. (Thanks also to Chris and The Underground Television for the use of their studio for the interview!) We found out the latest Skell happenings, and heard insight about the group’s new CD, Shangri La 27; several lucky listeners called in to win copies! We also highlighted a 2000 song from Pat’s former band, Basis, for a Local Music Flashback.

In Local Music News…
Harrisburg-based alternative/hip hop/rock artists 7th Layer have inked a recording deal with Long Island-based label Island Palm Music. The group will reportedly issue a digital three-song release on the label first, followed by the first of a possible three CD’s with the label over the upcoming year. 7th Layer has been playing stages in Pennsylvania and the mid-Atlantic region over the past four years.
From the ashes of former Huntingdon County rockers Blackout has emerged a new group. Ganister features former Blackout members Ken Gray on vocals, Eric Smith on guitar and Randy Wilson on drums, with Dan Lukens playing bass. Ganister will play contemporary hard rock, and will make their onstage debut during next month’s Roar In the Mountains motorcycle rally at Hollidaysburg’s Legion Park.
And another Huntingdon County rock group has issued their first EP. Sound Of Silence (S.O.S.) has released a four-song disc called Heathenizm. The disc is available at the group’s shows.
