Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Jesus Lizard are a Chicago-based Noise Rock band formed in 1987, characterized by David Wm. Sims' and Mac McNeilly's tight rhythm section, Duane Dennison's screechy guitars, and the zany antics of the appropriately named vocalist David Yow. They achieved cult status among the 90's underground rock scene, and at times even flirted with mainstream success, but due to their somewhat challenging and noisy style, they never managed to break through.Yow and Wm. Sims were previously members of Scratch Acid along with Rey Washam, while Washam and Wm. Sims formed the Rock Trio Rapeman alongside Steve Albini, who also produced every Jesus Lizard album until Down. Wm. Sims also made guest appearances on albums by Industrial Metal Supergroup Pigface and Sparklehorse.After breaking up in 1999, the band remained popular and respected in the indie rock community, and in 2008 decided to reunite and go on a highly successful tour that ended in 2009. According to the band, this was probably the last time they'd ever play together, soon proven incorrect after 2017, when they reunited for more live shows.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Careful with That Axe: Yow's vocals in the studio have been compared to "a kidnap victim trying to howl through the duct tape over his mouth". | |

Cover Version | |
The Jesus Lizard (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: Their reading of Trio's "Sunday You Need Love Monday Be Alone" plays with the Rearrange the Song trope. It has the same key and tempo as the original, but it's a minute shorter, adds a guitar solo, and generally has the rougher, more aggressive sound you'd expect from Jesus Lizard. And while both versions have half-spoken Creepy Monotone vocals, David Yow uses a lower, more insinuating tone than Stephan Remmler does in Trio's original. | |

Dreadful Musician: David Yow, though he uses Harsh Vocals to great effect. | |
