Description

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 Denisons jagged yet clean-toned riffing and Yows mercurial vocalizations manifesting as everything from panicked citizen, reality escapee or wounded sea mammal. The Jesus Lizards fury carried on through six studio albums, two live recordings and a brace of singles and EPs. The Jesus Lizard return with their first new music since 1998, and their first album on Ipecac (who are celebrating their 25th anniversary currently). The Jesus Lizard are one of the leading noise rock bands of all time, influencing newer acts such as IDLES and Fucked Up. The band have also had their time in the mainstream with a split release with Nirvana, and David Yow has recently done guest vocals on an IDLES album and is an actor, appearing in the remake of Toxic Avenger and other indie films such as Dinner In America and Rattlesnake. The band and label have a history together, with guitarist Duane Denison being a member of the band Tomahawk with Mike Patton, as well as putting out his own album under The Unsemble. Vocalist David Yow also sang on the Qui album released by Ipecac. UK tour in January 2025, EU tour in May 2025.
