Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the October 5 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.
A slightly different flavor to the program this week. Thanks to our guests, Vitu and Jason of the Harrisburg area band No Refill for an interesting show. We learned about the exciting and diverse world of No Refill, mixing elements of rock, reggae, punk, hip-hop and rap into a style all their own. We heard tracks from the group's debut EP, “Me and My Dreadlocks,” and three lucky listeners won copies of the EP. We also previewed two songs from the group's forthcoming second EP, “Not Another Self-Titled Debut Album.” We also heard Vitu and Jason share thoughts on their music, influences, inspirations, live show and more.
This week's playlist:
HOUR ONE:
THE FLAME SKY - “Only In Your Head”
SOUND DRIVEN - “Spiral”
NO REFILL - “Evil Generator”
BACKSTREET LAW - “Sharks”
NO REFILL - “Stand Up For Your Rights”
SILVER SUNDAY - “Naked”
NO REFILL - “85 MPH”
HOUR TWO:
CHOCO SAM - “Constantino”
SPRING DRIVE - “Be Careful”
NO REFILL - “Brian Danecki (R.I.P.)"
SPINEBELT - “Losing All”
NO REFILL - “Gain the Entire World”
POKER FACE - “Illuminati”
NO REFILL - “Jezebel”
NO REFILL - “Me and My Dreadlocks”
On Sunday night, October 12, our guests will be Lehigh Valley 'freedom rockers' Poker Face. The group has just released their third CD, “Made In America;” we will hear songs from the album, and get inside Poker Face and their music, mission, live show and more. It should be an exciting two hours when Poker Face visits the "Backyard Rocker," this Sunday night!
