Jack Yello is combining several styles that also include hooklines and melodies, with influences ranging from Arena and Marillion to Spocks Beard and Dream Theater. “I had been a fan of Darius and had heard of Jack Yello, so it was with surprise and delight that I read their email asking if we would be interested in representing them in the United States.” Said Jerry George, A&R Director for ProgRock Records. Shawn Gordon, President of ProgRock Records had this to say “I hate to admit it, but I hadn’t heard of any of these projects, so as is my custom with a new release, I put it in my portable CD player and went for a walk in the hills by my house for a listen. This is some really great music, a wonderful blend of a lot of music that I really enjoy, and a whole lot of energy, this one is going to be in my CD player for some time, I can tell.”.
