Jay Reatard
Comment:
In the grand punk tradition of everyone from the Sex Pistols to Iggy Pop, Jay Reatard was a true rock 'n' roll [i]provocateur[/i], a boundary-pushing wildman notorious for taking [i]everything[/i] to the extreme, including getting into punch-ups with audience members. He made music to match his powder-keg personality, too — the frenzied, six-string savagery he wreaks on "Blood Visions" and the push-it-[i]past[/i] the limit attitude that leaps out as he hurtles 90 miles an hour down a dead-end street on the beyond-driven "Hiding Hole" leave little doubt about just how hard Reatard could rock. And when he chugs and growls through the garage-rocking grit of the lower-than-lo-fi "Haunting You," it sounds like the whole track could spontaneously self-destruct before it reaches the end.
