ROBSCURITIES REVIEW OF SCREAMER - TARGET:EARTH brought to you by the Kenosha Maroons Historical Society

 

Not to be confused with the Swedish Heavy Metal Screamer that formed in 2009, this version of Screamer hailed from Kenosha, Wisconsin, home of the totally 'Robscure' NFL team the Kenosha Maroons, who folded after going 0–4–1 in their one and only season of existence (1924).  An error in the NFL records, which persists today, shows that the Maroons lost a fifth game that season to the Rock Island Independents. That phantom game, claimed as a victory by Rock Island, appears incorrectly in NFL records as the Kenosha team's fifth loss of its only season. In reality, this game was held after the "high-priced" Maroons players and the rest of the original team disbanded, and the team that played Rock Island was instead composed of "Kenosha All-Stars".  But I digress....Screamer released this sizzler of an album in 1988, and fans of early Queensryche will absolutely LOVE this album, as they sound remarkably like them.
