the Jesus Lizard have just wrapped up their wonderfully received UK and Irish live dates in support of Rack, and it won’t be long before they hit the road again.
The band share a brand new track, “Westside” and the single is only available digitally.
About the track, Duane Denison comments; ‘”Westside’ goes along with the previous single ‘Cost of Living’ — which was subconsciously influenced by Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story” and hence the name. Really.”
David Yow adds; “There is a part in Westside where the lyrics say, “…give him back his arm”. That was inspired by David Lynch’s Lost Highway, when Robert Blake’s character says, “Give me back my phone.”

The release of Rack marks a new chapter for the Jesus Lizard, whose influence on alternative and punk music remains undeniable. With its relentless energy and razor-sharp musicianship, the album has already garnered widespread acclaim from critics and fans 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 bassist David Wm. Sims and drummer Mac McNeilly was the perfect launchpad for guitarist Duane Denison’s jagged yet clean-toned riffing and vocalist David Yow’s mercurial vocalisations manifesting as everything from panicked citizen, reality escapee or wounded sea mammal. the Jesus Lizard’s fury has carried on through six studio albums, two live recordings and a brace of singles and EPs, with the band’s seventh album, Rack, out now via Ipecac Recordings.
