Z-Rocks' radio play in Houston (Y-94, 98Rocks, KPFT), Dallas (KEGL) and Los Angeles (KROQ), constant touring (opening for the likes of U2, Duran Duran, Huey Lewis, Utopia, Sparks, David Lindley.

Z-Rocks' radio play in Houston (Y-94, 98Rocks, KPFT), Dallas (KEGL) and Los Angeles (KROQ), constant touring (opening for the likes of U2, Duran Duran, Huey Lewis, Utopia, Sparks, David Lindley...), and popularity amongst dance-club DJs helped the band have a short regional run of luck in '84-'86.

Radio cuts included "The Teacher's A Punk', The Way She Looks At Me" and 'You Know My Name".
