The Jesus Lizard 'Nub' (Touch & Go, 1991)

The Jesus Lizard turned out this wonderfully abrasive jackhammer of a track on their 1991 album 'Goat'. Buzzsaw slide guitar dominates with the bass and drums meting out a demanding pace.

The Jesus Lizard were most famed for an element of danger and depravity in their live shows and for doing a split 7" single with Nirvana at the height of their post-Nevermind fame. Recorded by Steve Albini, the 'Goat' album is effortlessly aggressive and a disconcerting listen. 'Nub' stands out for the short-sharp-shock tactics.
