Punk’s a weird animal. And the Reatards were the three-legged horse of the punk scene during the late nineties and into the augties. But, ya know what? That’s good.

Disbanding the group, though, served as entrance into high visibility for Jay Reatard. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it to the other side, instead petering out in an excess of attention. At least the man enjoyed a good deal of (underground) success during his final years.
