In Never Understood, William Jim tell the story of The Jesus and Mary Chain - one of Britain's greatest guitar bands - for the very first time.

A wildly funny and improbably moving chronicle of brotherly strife, feedback, riots, drug and alcohol addiction, eternal outsiders and extreme shyness - and a love letter to the Scottish working-class family - Never Understood is a bona-fide classic of rock 'n' roll literature.

'Here is the story of the Reid brothers' rollercoaster life. Scream if you want to go faster: they'll almost certainly oblige'
Ian Rankin

'Entertaining . . . fraught, funny and occasionally farcical'

Praise for Never Understood: The Jesus and Mary Chain

  • In this entertaining autobiography, William and Jim Reid emerge as both expert chroniclers and good company . . . Fraught, funny and occasionally farcical - SCOTSMAN

  • Funny and moving - Observer
