The Jesus Lizard

The Jesus Lizard is a pioneering noise rock band formed in the late 1980s in Austin, Texas, later based in Chicago. Known for their abrasive sound, intense live performances, and the unfiltered energy of frontman David Yow, they became a defining force in underground rock. Their music combines jagged guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and raw, confrontational vocals, influencing countless alternative and punk acts.
