The Jesus and Mary Chain

The Jesus and Mary Chain are a Scottish alternative rock group started by brothers Jim and William Reid in 1984. They are famous for pioneering a style of rock music called Noise Pop, which used the format of traditional pop and punk music but added layers of heavy guitar distortion and feedback. Though they broke up in 1999, they officially reunited the band in 2007.
