First up in phase 2 of Tight Globes, Reatards and their album Grown Up, Fucked Up. If you’re not familiar with Jay Reatard, stop reading this and go check out his catalog now. Then come back. Still with me? This album is raw, primal and exploding with energy. Don’t be afraid to turn it up. It’s music that your parents would hate, unless you’re a new parent and you haven’t given up on music yet. Behind the grittiness of the record you can really start to hear the pop hooks that Jay would later be known for. Make no mistake, this is visceral punk rock. But, Jay leaves room to grow. That’s my kind of punk. Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/gonerrecords/reatards-blew-my-mind-grown-up-fcked-up-out-aug-21st-on-goner-records
