This was felt both on MTV and on the radio, including 99.5 KISS-FM. Talks about the difficulty of local San Antonio bands who were more firmly rooted in traditional rock sound of the 80s to make headway during the 1990s. One exception was a band called Petting Zoo who played in Austin and the early incarnations of the SXSW Music Festival.
