The Jesus Lizard

Rack

    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.

    Since their inception in Chicago in 1987, The Jesus Lizard has thrilled audiences all over the planet. The impeccable rocket-thrust rhythm section of Sims and McNeilly was the perfect launchpad for Denison’s jagged yet clean-toned riffing and Yow’s mercurial vocalizations manifesting as everything from panicked citizen, reality escapee or wounded sea mammal. the Jesus Lizard’s fury carried on through six studio albums, two live recordings and a brace of singles and EPs.

    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.

    STAFF COMMENTS

    Barry says: It's been TWENTY SIX years, and The Jesus Lizard can still rock like there's no tomorrow. Garage flavoured chugging guitar riffs and rolling bass with snapping snare drums and snarling HC vocals. It's as energetic and uncompromising as they ever were. Albini's legacy has left a big impact on the music world, and The Jesus Lizard are but one of them. A great return.

    Goat - Remastered Reissue

      Bassist David Wm. Sims is revealed as the band's secret weapon, stock still in anchoring an increasingly chaotic stage show. Guitarist Duane Denison's musical ideas stun throughout, finding an almost impossibly sympathetic foil in drummer, Mac McNeilly. All the while, vocalist David Yow's complete disregard for his own health and safety was becoming the stuff of legend, propelled by tracks like "Mouth Breather", "Monkey Trick" and the effaceable "Seasick". - Pat Daly // If the members of the Jesus Lizard got it "right" on HEAD, then GOAT serves as one of the great pinnacles in the history of the American underground. The Jesus Lizard's third document was the formula perfected, the cylinders firing in time, the crosshairs perfectly aligned in the scope, the last stiff drink before blacking out. - Jason Pettigre.

      Head - Deluxe Remastered Edition

        "Head" was the first full length album by The Jesus Lizard. The band was by now a very direct, laser guided unwavering bolt of light. The guitars are bracing, bass bruising, drums galloping and vocals sounding as if sung from inside a leather mask.
