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''
The Scotsman
