Background information
In 1980, Guy Schwartz teamed with Randy Soffar and formed Z-Rocks, a new-wave power-pop band that had three minor regional hits fueled by touring with the likes of Duran Duran, Todd Rundgren and Huey Lewis and The News.

After their first album Z-Rocks was added to over 200 radio stations across the US, it was reviewed as 'too derivative'.

Z-Rocks never released its second album and soon faded.
