Need to actually check this band still. Is Head the best starting point?

Goat's the typical choice but Head could be an interesting progression

short enough run that why not

i started here and have few regrets (somewhat choppy tracklist, but the hits are irresistible)

Yeah, well, I'm a hipster and I think Shot deserves a mention alongside the canon pantheon of Jeusus Liazarads.

I'm fairly new to their stuff as well but it's all pretty great. Well out of the first 3 albums

David Sims' bass often doesn't get enough love but man does he bring his tree trunk sized A game.

Slave Ship is indeed soooooo good, the sloppy breakdown towards the middle of the song and the haunting, ominous noise around the 3 minute mark are chilling



new single is also growing on me with repeated listens. Still hoping the non-singles are groovier / noiser / ballsier

Alexis Feels Sick", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCcH0BV5sjo - second single from the upcoming album, RACK. Pre-order the September 13th release at https://tjl.lnk.to/rack



Video created by David Yow



Inspired by Girls Against Boys/Soulside drummer Alexis Fleisig’s guarded opinion of modern life, the four-and-a-half-minute track is met with an esoteric, David Yow created video. Yow shares insight into the concept behind the clip: "The ‘Alexis Feels Sick’ video is a disgusting and comically impressionistic portrait of American Late Stage Capitalism… with some doggies.” Duane Denison adds that it’s a “study in greed, gluttony, and… dogs.”



“Hide & Seek” (https://youtu.be/_Zx-vUlFXEk), the first taste from the 11-song album, was described by Yow as “a perky ditty about a witch who can’t behave, and it’s got nearly as many hooks as a Mike Tyson fight.” The video captures the band - Mac McNeilly, David Wm. Sims, Denison and Yow – recording Rack with Producer Paul Allen at Nashville’s Audio Eagle Studio.



the Jesus Lizard reconvened in 2009 for a limited number of shows and have maintained their bond both as friends in close contact with one another, and touring bandmates. “We literally only made the record because we thought it would be fun to make the record,” says Sims. With McNeilly highlighting the strong relationship amongst the musicians: “We are bonded by the music we make, and also by the respect we have for each other.”

oh shit, thank you based Mort. Everything about the new single is crushing Hide and Seek on first listen. Bass-line takes me back to songs like Whirl. Thoroughly hyped now



and now I have another post-hardcore band to check, awesome
