The Shadow Lizzards is a German stoner and psychedelic rock band from Nuremberg that was founded in 2015.

style

According to concert announcements, the “young power trio” lets go of “wild, unbridled rock music” or “dirty creaking sounds”, is described by fans as “a mixture of Jimi Hendrix and The Doors ”, shows “creativity without allowing any compromise” and is bribing "Through changing grooves and instrumental finesse". Elsewhere, Kadavar and Steppenwolf and Creedence Clearwater Revival were also used as references.

For some, “the people of Nuremberg conjure up the highly (h) urgent sixties in the usual way,” for others, “the young musicians hammer and groove their way through ten songs that sound like“ the musically perfect 70s ”or“ do themselves ” unrestrained to the seventies rock "and play" in a wild and uncontrolled way through the psychedelic corner ".

reception

The debut album, which was also released by Ton Zonen Records in a small edition of 250 orange and purple records each , received a favorable reception in the relevant trade press.

"Extremely coherent and stylish retro rock, which could hardly be more consistent in its execution"

- Pitfire

"The ten tracks tick off all items on the to-do list for perfect albums ( English " The ten tracks of the record tick off every to-do list for perfect albums " )"

- Sludge Worm Magazine

“The production breathes the analog spirit of the past comfortably and calmly. Reduced to the essentials, the instruments guitar, bass, drums and Hammond organ get the space that a warm sound needs. And the musicians use this space for all kinds of Jamparts that make you want to go live. "

- Curt.de

In a more nuanced review, the author emphasizes the basic quality, but also points out the development potential that the band should still develop. The debut album is good to listen to “in any case” and is good “not least [...] as a soundtrack for a relaxed car journey”. In order to “play a good role in the scene in the future”, the band would have to be “a little more focused in songwriting” and develop “a more independent sound”.
