Our Take

The Jesus and Mary Chain have always been known for their raw, intense live performances, and their latest release, "Live At Barrowland," captures that energy in all its chaotic glory.

From the opening chords of "Snakedriver" to the blistering finale of "Reverence," the band doesn't let up for a second, delivering a sonic assault that leaves you gasping for breath. The dual guitars of brothers Jim and William Reid create a wall of sound that is both beautiful and brutal, while vocalist Jim's haunting, almost whispered vocals add a sense of menace to every track.

Tracks like "Happy When It Rains" and "April Skies" are delivered with a ferocity that is positively exhilarating, while "Just Like Honey" takes on a new life in a live setting, with the crowd singing along in unison.

But it's not all chaos and noise – the band also showcases their softer side with tracks like "Sometimes Always" and "Darklands," where the delicate melodies and heartfelt lyrics shine through.

Overall, "Live At Barrowland" is a masterclass in how to deliver a killer live show. The Jesus and Mary Chain may have been around for decades, but they show no signs of slowing down – if anything, they've only gotten better with age. This album is a must-listen for fans of the band, and a perfect introduction for those who have yet to experience their live magic.

About the artist

The Jesus and Mary Chain

The Jesus and Mary Chain are the Scottish siblings who brought chaos to the tranquil waters of 80s indie rock. Formed in 1983 by brothers Jim and William Reid, this band is a perfect storm of punk attitude, melodic sensibility, and a healthy dose of feedback-drenched noise. Their groundbreaking debut album "Psychocandy" from 1985 is a genre-defining masterpiece, fusing sweet pop melodies with a blistering wall of sound. With their signature blend of dark lyrics and distorted guitars, The Jesus and Mary Chain quickly became darlings of the underground music scene, influencing countless bands to come. Tracks like "Just Like Honey" and "Head On" have stood the test of time, proving that sometimes a little chaos is exactly what you need. But don't let their brooding image fool you - the Reids are known for their sharp wit and irreverent sense of humour. Whether they're throwing shade at the music industry or poking fun at themselves, The Jesus and Mary Chain are always quick with a clever quip. After a tumultuous career that included breakups, reunions, and everything in between, The Jesus and Mary Chain are still going strong today. Their latest album "Damage and Joy" from 2017 is a reminder of why we fell in love with them in the first place - a perfect mix of darkness and light, noise and melody. So if you're looking for a band that's equal parts cool and chaotic, look no further than The Jesus and Mary Chain. They may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those who get it, they're pure sonic bliss. And that's not just our feedback talking.
