"I can't shake the feeling that I've seen this dream before", sings Jim Reid on 'jamcod', the first single to be released from The Jesus & Mary Chain's forthcoming album Glasgow Eyes. Well, Jim, I can't shake the feeling that I've heard this song before. To the surprise of no one, it sounds exactly like The Jesus & Mary Chain.
Not that that's a bad thing, mind - not at all. And certainly not in the light of the latest trailer for the LP, 'Girl 71', which - with its rock 'n' roll swagger and handclaps - is somewhat less typical but also akin to a rather lame Primal Scream knock-off. Hopefully the album as a whole will be more 'jamcod' than 'Girl 71', then.
Here are the brothers Reid - previously spectacularly combustible, now happy to claim to being "tea and toast guys" - answering fan questions about gig riots, Alan McGee's hyperbole, recording and performing with Shane MacGowan, Lost In Translation and being roped into contributing backing vocals on an Erasure single.
