The Jesus Lizard have returned with RACK, their first record since 1998. The album features 11 tracks of brisk guitar rock you havent 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 todays 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 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.

On Rack, the Jesus Lizard have returned reconstituted, refreshed and positively revving. No tepid, bland tracks to show how theyve 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.
