The Jesus and Mary Chain are a chaotic, noisy indie quartet formed in Scotland, blending the Beach Boys' sunny pop with the Velvet Underground's black-leather cool. Brothers Jim Reid and William Reid, from East Kilbride, Glasgow, Scotland were the primary songwriters. "The JAMC" released a constant string of albums, singles and EPs until their demise in 1998. Having influenced many post-punk and noise rock bands, the group finally reunited in 2007.

Quiet song but it grew on me. I'm not totally sure about the Am, so let me know if you play something different, all feedback's more than welcome. -John ([email protected])
