Solo debuts aren’t supposed to be this good. Jay Reatard has been kicking around Memphis since a teen, starting in the 1990s with the dirty-word punk of The Reatards, and lately in the thrashy synth-centered Lost Sounds.more at dustedmagazine.com

If you thought Central Texas was all SRV, think again. Austin's Golden Boys aren't aboutmore
If you thought Central Texas was all SRV, think again. Austin's Golden Boys aren't about to curb their love of Lee Hazlewood or Roky Erickson, and last year's sophomore freak-out, Whiskey Flower (Emperor Jones), proved it with drunken keys, vintage guitars, and Lone Star. A new album is in the can, so expect the fivepiece in delightfully rare form. – Darcie Stevens

Jay Reatard: the reason MTV declared “lo-fi is all the rage.” The Memphis maverick and reigning king of garage-punk churns out more singles than a strip club, each somehow more grating and melodic than the last. In the Red Recordings recently compiled his Singles 06-07, and he’s halfway through a six-part 7-inch series for Matador. Nashville’s Cheap Time and locals the Golden Boys and Manikin kick-start your heart. – Austin Powellmore at austinchronicle.com
Posted 2 months ago.Sometimes an album cover depicting a dude mostly naked and covered in fake blood proves quite revealing. Such is the case with Jay Reatard’s 2006 Blood Visions, whose songs embrace morbid imagery and bright, hyper punk like a new-wave update on The Cramps. The Memphis-based Reatard frantically crams some sharp guitar melodies into his short songs, which are never quite as crude as they first sound. Reatard just released a record that compiles tracks from his clutch of vinyl-only releases called Singles 06-07. Opening: Cheap Time, Golden Boys, Manikin.
