LIZARDS



Andy, Chris and Big Al from Weymouth made this brilliant demo in 1989, and called themselves LIZARDS.  I was completely sold mere moments into the first track "I Believe," which is a midtempo dark and gloomy number that would have fit in perfectly with All The Madmen releases that came years earlier.  Eight songs on the We Want To Be American demo, and they are all superb, even when the vocals get all weird and almost BUTTHOLE SURFERS-esque on "Foetus"  and even when they start "Pig Out" with a really odd wah-wah on the guitar and then launch into a disco beat.  As always with the more random UK bands, if anyone reading this has any more information on these chaps, feel free to drop a line in the comments and share your wisdom with us commoners!
