The Jesus and Mary Chain Announce First Album in 19 Years!

For the first time in nearly 20 years, The Jesus and Mary Chain will release their new album, Damage and Joy, in March.

In a press release, Jim Reid said: "We started to – can you believe? – listen to each other a bit more. In the last couple of years, we’ve buried the hatchet to some degree, and thankfully not into each other. Most people who know us would say that we haven’t mellowed that much. I think it was to do with the fact, dare I say it, that wisdom comes with age. Let’s live and let live, and let’s take each other’s opinions into account.”
