The Jesus and Mary Chain and Ciel

The Jesus and Mary Chain, formed in 1984, is a seminal band known for their innovative sound and influential role in alternative music. Originating in Glasgow, they are celebrated for their distinctive mix of noise pop and rock. Key figures Jim and William Reid craft their music with a spontaneous approach, retaining the same dynamic since their debut. Their new album, Glasgow Eyes, was recorded at Mogwai's Castle of Doom studio, marking a return to their roots. Known for iconic tracks like "Just Like Honey," they continue to shape the genre with their timeless style.

Ciel, from SE London, fuses grime with Caribbean flair, drawing inspiration from 67, Young Thug, and Vybz Kartel. His style blends wavy melodies, heavy basslines, and sharp bars.
