The Jesus and Mary Chain new music
On March 22, TJaMC dropped their eighth studio album “Glasgow Eyes.”
Comprised of 12 songs, the record is a return to form for the fuzzed-out noise rockers. It’s all crunchy guitars, angsty vocals and washed out sound over deceptively simple melodies.
Standout tracks include the endlessly catchy “American Born,” neo-futurist “Mediterranean X Film” (which sounds like a collaboration with Kraftwerk) and sludgy shoegaze confection “Pure Poor.”
Still, it’s the record’s sunniest track that we loved most. Check out the fun-loving “The Eagles and the Beatles” if you want to hear The Jesus and Mary Chain’s most crowd-pleasing track yet.
Make sure to stick around for the stirring finale “Hey Lou Reid,” too. It’s a perfect ode to the Velvet Underground frontman.

Frankie Rose
On top of the co-headliners, fans will also be treated to opening act Frankie Rose.
The dreamy female singer-songwriter got her start playing with The Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls, Vivian Girls and Beverly. These days, she performs as a solo artist.
As an introduction to her sound, we recommend starting with the ethereal “Pair Of Wings,” moody, poppy “Know Me” and propulsive sing-a-long “Night Swim” that you’ll want to play back all day.
