A TELEGRAPH MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 / A ROUGH TRADE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 / AN UNCUT BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 / A RESIDENT MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 

In Never Understood: The Jesus and Mary Chain, William and Jim tell their own story for the very first time: an account of one of Britain's greatest guitar bands. 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' The Scotsman
