Musically, culturally and in terms of sheer attitude, The Jesus and
Mary Chain stand alone. Their seminal debut album Psychocandy
changed the course of popular music with its iconic blend of
psychotic white noise, darkly surreal lyrics and pop sensibility,
and the band continue to enchant and confound. This fierce, frank
and often funny tale begins in the faceless new town of East
Kilbride, near Glasgow, at the dawn of the 1980s with two
chronically shy brothers, Jim and William Reid, listening to music
in their shared bedroom. What follows charts the formation of The
Jesus and Mary Chain, their incendiary live performances, their
relationship with Alan McGee's Creation Records and those famous
fraternal tensions that prepared McGee for the onslaught of the
Gallaghers, with plenty of feedback, fighting and, most
importantly, perfectly crafted pop along the way. It is time this
vastly influential group and sometime 'public enemy' had their say.
