#268 - Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All... →
  268/500  Pretty Scottish boys surfing a wave of doom and gloom and enjoying every moment of it. The Jesus and Mary Chain’s debut is a decadent alt-rock masterpiece of bubblegum pop — such as “Just Like Honey,” “My Little Underground” and “Never Understand” — drowned in feedback. ~ 2003

Eyewitness - The Jesus and Mary Chain Riot →
John Harris / Q Mag Witness: Various Event: The Jesus And Mary Chain Riot Date: March 15, 1985  Location: North London Polytechnic Having carefully whipped up a minor furore with their “buzzsaw pop” and fun-sized live shows, Scotland’s premier Scuzzadelic oiks found themselves at the centre of - eek! - a real-life breach of public order. John Harris rounds up the...

Ology: Artist Spotlight →
By BRETT WARNER Fusing the abrasive, feedback drenched noise of garage punk and The Velvet Underground with the ‘60s pop craft of Phil Spector and the Motown girl groups, The Jesus and Mary Chain were one of the most vital and innovative alternative rock groups of the eighties and nineties. Fronted by Scottish brothers Jim and William Reid, the JAMC went through several lineup and stylistic...

NY Rock interviews Jim Reid 1998 →
By Gabriella, September 1998 In the mid-eighties, while the industry was labeling The Jesus & Mary Chain “the next big thing,” the younger generation already had them pegged as stars for acts such as provoking a riot, getting arrested for drugs, performing entire sets with the singer’s back toward the audience, and the entire band walking off stage during a TV broadcast because they...

The Record Collector Reviews: The Jesus & Mary... →
Essential addenda to same-named new Creation movie A quarter-century on, it’s difficult to convey the seismic impact of those first JAMC shows, which regularly dissolved into onstage fisticuffs and chaos before an early finish. Obviously they drew Sex Pistols comparisons but, in terms of musical influence, were more far-reaching in the broader scheme of things, as bands today still try to...

#36 - SPIN Magazine's 125 Best Albums of the Past... →
36 The Jesus and Mary Chain, Psychocandy 1985 There’s fuzz and then there’s fuzz. The Jesus and Mary Chain favored the latter on Psychocandy, an album that sounds like the melding of a million different memories of the ’60s as the decade went down in garages and dive bars and stoned-out suburban rec rooms. SPIN’s John Leland did not dig the idea in 1985, when he...
