Mesh

Vinyl LP pressing. 2024 release. On 'Mesh', the band's fifth full length album, Lizzard capture the energetic, lightning-in-a-bottle optimism of the late '90s post-punk/art-rock scene and reinvigorate it as something empowering, inspiring and simmering with potential. Having first met in 2006, Katy Elwell (UK/Drums), Mat Ricou (FR/Guitar & Vocals) and Will Knox (UK/Bass) quickly realised they shared not only similar creative influences but also a distinct musical vision. The trio set out to craft an unmistakably contemporary rock sound that sought to resonate emotionally with the listener whilst being unafraid to challenge them too. The result is a heavy, hook-laden sound so much greater than the sum of it's parts. It was the band's 2007, self-produced mini-album 'Venus' that set them on their meteoric trajectory; produced by Rhys Fulber (Paradise Lost, Fear Factory, Front Line Assembly), it caught the attention of progressive rock audiences, labels and contemporaries alike. This underground success lead to Lizzard supporting acts such as Gojira and Punish Yourself in France before heading to L.A. to work with Rhys Fulber on their debut album proper, 2012's 'Out of Reach', which truly put the band on the map as a poly-rhythmic powerhouse.
