Person with chainsaw releases intense new single ‘Goddamn, Lizard’

Rising London band Man/Woman/Chainsaw is making waves with their latest single, “Goddamn, Lizard Man!” This song is a preview of their debut album, “Cannonball,” which is set to release on August 7th under Fiction Records.

The group, known for their intense live performances, infuses post-punk energy, theatrical flair, and emotional rawness into their music. “Goddamn, Lizard Man!” showcases the vocal talents of guitarist Billy Ward for the first time, providing a gritty and captivating performance inspired by charismatic yet deceptive individuals.

Recorded at the iconic RAK Studios with producers Seth Evans and Margo Broom, this track exemplifies the band’s ability to blend punk aggression with cinematic grandeur. With sharp riffs and a memorable string-and-synth hook, the song highlights Man/Woman/Chainsaw’s unique, genre-defying sound.

Previous releases like “Only Girl” and “Nosedive” have given listeners a taste of what to expect from “Cannonball.” The album, spanning eleven tracks, promises a diverse range of art-rock, contemplative moments, and experimental elements, reflecting the tumultuous journey from late teens to early adulthood.

Formed in their teenage years, the band started crafting songs in a converted vicarage. This six-piece outfit has gained momentum over the past year, selling out prestigious venues like London’s Scala and embarking on successful UK tours. International appearances at SXSW, KEXP, and BBC 6 Music have also bolstered their reputation.

Drummer Lola Cherry describes “Cannonball” as a collection of anthemic tracks that showcases the band’s vulnerability and rawness. The album oscillates between chaos and tenderness, embodying the band’s dynamic live performances and unpredictable nature.

Drawing inspiration from post-punk and indie rock, Man/Woman/Chainsaw has carved out a distinct space within the UK alternative scene. Their ability to seamlessly transition from intimate moments to intense sonic outbursts sets them apart as a rising force in British music.

Fans can catch Man/Woman/Chainsaw at various festivals this summer before the band embarks on a headline UK and Ireland tour this autumn. With upcoming shows in Belfast, Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow, and more, audiences can experience the band’s electrifying energy and genre-bending sound firsthand.
