Can't Stop The Rockby The Jesus and Mary Chain

The Jesus and Mary Chain by request!

Scottish alt-rock band formed in 1983, Jesus and Mary Chain revolves around brothers Jim and William Reid. 'Damage and Joy' is the band’s first album in 19 years.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been honored before in song form (Simon & Garfunkel's "I Am A Rock"), but one has to wonder if he finds this track particularly flattering. Unknown if this is featured on the new Fast & Furious soundtrack.

Scottish band formed around the songwriting of brothers Jim and Willian Reid. They will be playing the Showbox on 5/23.

The Jesus and Mary Chain will be playing at Showbox SoDo on Tuesday, May 23.

Performing at Showbox SoDo on Tuesday, May 23, 2017 at 8:00pm. On recording the new album, William Reid remarks, "“I think we bonded during the process, actually. I think it was a really good experience for me and Jim as brothers. I think our mother [who died in 2007] would have been proud to see us getting along so well, and doing things for our common good. I have been playing in studios over the decades, doing demos and trying to get my shit together, and I always come back to the same conclusion: that I needed Jim, you know. I needed his input, his voice. He’s not an effusive guy. He’ll never be coming to you and telling you you’re brilliant or you’re great or whatever, but Jim’s seal of approval, even if it’s just a nod or a ‘Hmmm, that’s OK,’ means a lot to me, you know? And I think the same is true of him with me. Yeah, I can make records without Jim, Jim can make records without me, but there’s a special thing that happens, and I’d kind of missed that.” bit.ly

Jesus and Mary Chain's first album since 1998, "Damage and Joy" drops tomorrow. They'll play Showbox SoDo on May 23rd!
