Reptile be back
Incendiary Austin noise-punks The Jesus Lizard return with their first album of the 21st century
The Jesus Lizard, 2024: (I-r) David Wm Sims, David Yow, Mac McNeilly, Duane Denison
“WE haven’t mellowed,” proclaims Jesus Lizard frontman David Yow, with more than a hint of pride. “My wife makes fun at how dark and menacing it is, but I don’t see it that way. We write what we write because that’s what we write.” Although the band reunited in 2009 to play live, forthcoming album Rack will be their first for 26 years. “We pick up right where the last record left off,” says guitarist Duane Denison.
