Heaven and Hell

I love me some reverb. Shoegaze forever!

The Story of the Jesus and Mary Chain by Jonathan Garrett

"If one had any doubts that heaven is indeed too close to hell, as the Jesus and Mary Chain first suggested on 1987's Darklands, the band's own career ought to lay them to rest. For three decades, the Scottish brothers who comprise the core of JAMC, Jim and William Reid, have demonstrated that noise and melody can not only coexist, but when properly executed, each can cast the other in sharper relief. While many artists have been drawn to extreme, few have explored such opposite ends of the spectrum simultaneously. This is their story, as told by the Reids themselves and those who know them best."
