The Jesus Lizard

Jesus Lizard make a surprise return after 25 years in the wild - thankfully they've lost none of the rage, the energy, psychopathic wit, or gymnastic musical ability that made them such an essential listen first time around, instead they've added sage wisdom and an enviable cavalier attitude that raises this far and above the stream of pale imitations.

The Jesus Lizard have returned with 'Rack', their first record since 1998. The album features 11 tracks of brisk guitar rock you haven’t heard since… the last time The Jesus Lizard took over a stage in your town. The Jesus Lizard — vocalist David Yow, guitarist Duane Denison, bassist David Wm. Sims, and drummer Mac McNeilly — have returned with a record teeming with the kind of madness needed to beat down today’s AOR mediocrity and piss-perfect pop drivel alike. On Rack, The Jesus Lizard have returned reconstituted, refreshed and positively revving. No tepid, bland tracks to show how they’ve “matured” as songwriters. No inane detours into unnecessary genre exercises. The Jesus Lizard. They might not be young, but they will never, ever get fucking old.
