As the frontman and guitarist with hardcore band Heart Attack, and rash-punks D-Generation, as well as an accomplished solo artist, New Yorker Jesse Malin has lived a life. “Gritty” is a word that’s often used in association with Malin, partly due to his “musical troubadour” vibe. He’s worked with Springsteen, Ryan Adams, and Billie Joe Armstrong in the past, highlighting the respect with which he’s held. But there’s a lot more to him too. “Almost Grown is a raw, honest, and often funny account of how a hyperactive kid from Queens made his dreams come true—and the hustlers, sweethearts, misfits, and lifelong friends he met along the way,” they say. Accurate!
