Jay Reatard

Summary: Having founded seminal Memphis punk outfit Reatards at the tender age of sixteen, Jay Reatard (born in 1980) is a seasoned veteran of the garage-punk scene. In the '90s 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. Never content to stick to one genre, one project or one band, Jay also co-led the synth-punk Lost Sounds with Alicja Trout, plays drums for The Final Solutions ,does a solo project Terror Visions , co-fronts The angry angles and runs his own label Shattered Records.
