The Lizards are something rare these days, an American super group of classic rock experts who enjoy blending all kinds of musical styles together such as rock, blues rock, funk and stoner. Their front-man is John Garner, former drummer/singer of the legendary 70s rock band Sir Lord Baltimore, which was the first band ever for which the term "Heavy Metal" was used in 1971. John has also been called the inventor of "Stoner Rock" and only after a few notes of this album, it becomes obvious that this guy opened the way for bands such as Queens Of The Stone Age and Spiritual Beggars. John Garner is a drummer/singer, however, another musician is behind the drum-kit, Bobby Rondinelli, currently with Blue Oyster Cult and former Black Sabbath as well as former Rainbow drummer. The line-up is completed by Patrick Klein and Randy Pratt . Believe me, it's a hell of a combo! "Rule" is their second album, labeled Hyperspace Records, promoted by Glass Onyon Promotions and produced by Patrick Klein and Randy Pratt. The result is a well-rounded production with a terrific feel and a total delight.
