King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard is an Australian psychedelic rock band formed in Melbun, Victoria in 2010, consisting of Stu Mackenzie (everything), Cook Craig (guitar), Joey Walker (guitar), Ambrose Kenny Smith (harmonica, keyboards), Lucas Skinner (bass), and Michael Cavanagh (drums). 
Pretty much a total divergence from any kind of popular music out today, KG&TLW writes songs that can vary from their love of vegemite to spoken word suites about a cyborg in an altered future who engulfs the entire universe in vomit. Since 2011, they've released 15 albums and 2 EPs, five of which were released in 2017 and two released in 2019.
One thing that sets them apart from most bands (especially today) is that no two albums sound exactly the same. For example, compare Nonagon Infinity to Quarters, or Float Along - Fill Your Lungs to Eyes Like the Sky. Every album focuses around a different theme or sound pretty much. 
In 2017, one of the years within a period where trap shit was the dominant sound, King Gizzard released FIVE albums in one year, Flying Microtonal Banana, Murder of The Universe, Sketches of Brunswick East, Polygondwanaland, and Gumboot Soup. Poly is a notable album in that the band released it into the public domain, allowing anyone to make their own copies of the album or whatever they please with it.
The band released two albums in 2019, Fishing For Fishies, and Infest The Rats' Nest, the former featuring a lighter and bluesier sound, and the latter a bombastic thrash metal record concerning climate change. 
Eric Moore left the band in August 2020, in order to concentrate solely on running Flightless Records. 
King Gizz is, in short, a spit in the face to anyone who says rock is dead and has nothing left to innovate, and gives us yung folk who are in danger of being remembered as trap fags a band to say we experienced when it was new. They're almost comparable to the Sex Pistols or Nirvana in that if you're sick of undercuts, mumble rap, anxiety pop, and the trash indie pop that's being passed as rock today, these dudes are the band for you.
