On the heels of the band’s return after 26 years with its latest full-length RACK, The Jesus Lizard hits us all with razor-sharp teeth on the new single “Cost Of Living.” The digital-only single drops in conjunction, or rather, with anticipation of the Chicago band’s upcoming U.S. tour dates.

“Simply because I wrote the words to ‘Cost of Living’ doesn’t mean that I know exactly what it’s about,” David Yow shares. “I think it has to do with the dread and self-loathing that addicts experience on a very regular basis. You can pick whichever type of addict you choose.”

Duane Denison adds, “A friend asked me if we had any tricked-out, odd timing type things with twists and turns, and I said ‘Yeah, I think so….’”

The Jesus Lizard rounds out the U.S. leg for 2024 in December and then heads overseas before returning to the States and more shows scheduled for 2025 and then again back overseas. Tour dates are listed below.
