25 Yard Screamer is a band from Southern Wales that certainly knows what they want. They’ve been playing together since 2002 and have evolved into a tightly meshed band. They make progressive music comparable to Rush and a present day Marillion. This third album, ‘Cassandra’, contains only 4 songs. However, the CD lasts almost one hour, with the title track lasting just under 30 minutes. The opening track, “Blacklight”, (my favourite song) is a 20 minute long song that takes you on a parade full of musical adventures. The song contains so many compositional elements that every progressive rock lover will be dying to see them live at work. The three band members are very musically and technically gifted and Nick Jones is an extremely strong singer. The instrumental parts resemble Rush and the sublime singing parts are most comparable to modern day Marillion. Of the two shorter songs, “Boy in the Window” is the most interesting because it also shows some U2 influences. “Insommia” is an honest song that’s similar to the average Marillion song. The title track, “Cassandra”, is derived from a Greek myth about someone who has the gift to predict the future but no one believed him. This myth is used an undertone to tell the disaster story of 9-11. The music changes between rock and mellower passages but, on a whole, it answers to the description of what progressive rock is all about. It’s only after several listening sessions that “Cassandra” divulges her secrets. ‘Cassandra’ is a solid album that’s full of lots of ideas and presented in a very interesting way. The result is a very strong progressive album. This is the CD that will put 25 yard Screamer on the ‘Progressive Rock World Map’. It’s available via www.themusicindex.com |
