"Having founded seminal Memphis punk outfit The Reatards at the tender age of sixteen, Jay Reatard is a seasoned veteran of the garage-punk scene and he's barely twenty-six years old. In the '90s The Reatards turned the Memphis underground rock scene upside down with a legendary live show so over-the-top that they were banned in a number of European countries. In 2006 In The Red announced the release of Blood Visions, Jay's first as a solo artist. Combining the aggressive approach of The Reatards with a melodic pop sensibility, and production recalling classic UK punk records -- The Adverts (who he covered), Siouxsie and the Banshees, ATV, etc. " He also did a very successful cover of the Go-Betweens song "Don't Let Him Comeback" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klv9JLjJ4 DI Enjoy |
