The Jesus and Mary Chain are a Scottish alternative rock band formed in East Kilbride, Scotland in 1983. The band was formed by brothers Jim and William Reid, and consists of various members over the years, including bassist Douglas Hart, drummer Bobby Gillespie, and guitarist Ben Lurie.

The band's third album, Automatic (1989), featured the singles "Head On" and "Blues From a Gun", and is often considered their most successful album.

The Jesus and Mary Chain's fourth album, Honey's Dead (1992), featured the single "Reverence", which became the band's most successful single, reaching #9 on the UK Singles Chart.

The band has since released two more albums, Munki (1998) and Damage and Joy (2017), and have continued to tour and release singles.
