Our music is diverse and dynamic with contrasts and varied arrangements based on native-pop/rock with country soul reggae and funk influences. Lizanne Hennessey: lead vocals/lyrics Roland Stolk: all instruments/backing vocals Your track had rousing energy that moved us as listeners... Your lead vocals really grabbed us. We think your rhythmic elements on this release can hang with the best of them. Tight clean and interesting playing. Keep writing those anthems. - Hello Music April 15 2011 There is absolutely no one genre that can explain the sound of band This is lizzard’s new album Won’t Give Up. Just when you think a genre deion works for one of their songs they turn right around and give the next song different musical characteristics. From modern day pop native and rock to folk country reggae and 80’s pop they make sure to cover all of the bases. On top of that Singer Lizanne Hennessey’s voice has a bit of a country twang to it giving the band a unique edge to their sound. -Alec Cunningham ReviewYou May 12 2011 This is lizzard was founded in 1998 by American singer/lyricist Lizanne Hennessey and Dutch musician/composer Roland Stolk. Their music is based on native pop/rock and strengthened by a mix of their favorite genres including funk soul reggae and country. Lizanne says: When Roland and I met we found out pretty quickly what is it we do best together: making music. We formed This is lizzard in 1998 and have never stopped making music since. But for lots of reasons most of them beyond our control releasing an album just never happened... until now. Thirteen years later we are proud to announce the release of our debut album 'Won't Give Up'. The title says it all. We never did give up and we won't give up when it comes to fulfilling our dreams and sharing our music. The husband-and-wife duo This is lizzard pride themselves on the tremendous diversity and outstanding musicianship and production on 'Won't Give Up'.
