Cassels – The Queue at the Chemists (Big Scary
Cassels - The Queue at the Chemists
Monsters)
Release Date: Out Now
My favourite agitated brothers
Cassels are back and this time they’re taking on the criminal inactivity around
the Climate Change emergency. ‘The Queue at the Chemists’ is typically sparse
when it comes to their brand of punk duelling and the scratchy VHS video
matches that vibe perfectly. However, beyond the excellently brutal
musicianship, the key to the Cassels brand is the biting and honest lyrics
delivered with deadpan glory. “How can I be expected to care about an abstract
and nebulous problem like a dying planet when I’m forced to queue for over 20
minutes to replenish my cod liver oil stocks at the chemists?” – as opening lines
go, this is unlikely to get any plagiarism complaints from Gary Barlow but it
cuts to the chase. Just replace ‘codliver oil stocks’ with ‘Brexit’ and you’ve pretty
much got the national psyche of the tabloid reading masses more concerned with
the price of a crate of Carling than the impact of those empty cans discarded on
the beach they stubbed their fags out on.
