Terry's back this week, and he and the Squatch take a special, in depth look at one of the most important, critically acclaimed albums of Hogarth-era Marillion---the 1994 concept album 'Brave'! The guys play several tracks and get into the story behind the album, the multiple endings, and various other interesting things which Terry (being a real Marillion geek) knows all about! They close the show with a new feature---the Classic Corner, in which they play a classic Genesis tune from the Golden Age of Prog!

This week, the Squatch is joined by guest host Terry DeLien once again, and they take a more in depth look at two great bands---Anubis from Australia and America's own Glass Hammer! The guys from Anubis were even kind enough to answer “The Pog-Watch Questions” so you get to hear them give a little more insight into how they write and record their fabulous music, their gear, how they approach live performances, etc.!For more information on this week's artists, you can visit:http://www.anubismusic.com/and http://glasshammer.com/As always, send questions, suggestions or comments to [email protected].

Yes was one of the first Prog bands to resonate with the Squatch more than 30 years ago, and as a bass player and backing vocalist himself, the Squatch always admired the phenomenal talents of Chris Squire. When Chris passed Tony knew he had to do something in tribute. So he gives you Episode 227, with a montage of some of his favorite Yes music (with Chris prominently featured) as well as music from all of Chris's solo albums and collaborations over the years.

Playlist:

1. Montage of some of Chris's best moments with Yes
2. You By My Side (from Chris Squire's 1975 album “Fish Out Of Water”)
3. Days Of Wonder (from Conspiracy's 2000 album “Conspiracy”)
4. Breaking Down Walls/Some Time, Some Way (from the Syn's 2005 album “Syndestructible”)
5. Tall Ships (from Squackett's 2012 album “A Life Within A Day”)
6. Amazing Grace/Whitefish (from Yes's 1985 album “9012Live - The Solos”)

Terry's back this week, and he and the Squatch begin things with a look at a heavy Prog band called Soul Secret from Italy! We get to hear music from their latest two albums, and some interview material from keyboardist Luca Di Gennaro! Next up, Terry gets his geek on as the guys cover one of his first and all-time favorite Prog bands, the legendary Marillion! Their coverage starts at the beginning of the Steve Hogarth era, but don't worry, I'm sure there will be some Fish era material played at some point on Prog-Watch (both eras are SO good)!

This week the Son Of Prog-Squatch, Paul Rowsick, sits in again for a look at two more great Swedish bands! One of them is a newer group called A.C.T who play an energetic, guitar and keyboard driven brand of Prog with lush vocals that sometimes draw comparisons to Queen! The second band is a legendary seventies group recently reborn, called Kaipa! This group helped put the great Roine Stolt (of the Flower Kings, Transatlantic, the Tangent, etc.) on the Prog world map!

We've been on the air for a year! In celebration we are offering this special episode in addition to the regularly scheduled episodes. A while back our friend Dan Foytik at the 9th Story Podcast was kind enough to interview the Squatch's band Novus and feature the interview and some Novus music in the 9th Story Podcast Episode 313. This is an excerpt from that episode which features the Squatch, his son, Paul, and author/stunt vocalist Nelson W Pyles talking about music, the creative process, Viagra, riding tigers, and various other topics. Dan acts as MC. Warning: the language and subject matter do get a little more "colorful" than your typical Prog-Watch episode! But we had fun doing it and we hope you have fun listening to it!

Another great variety show with more than 45 minutes of spectacular Prog rock from Overhead, Spock's Beard, Big Big Train, Flying Colors, Oblivion Sun and Andre Perim! For more information on this week's artists you can visit http://www.overhead-band.com/
