The Jesus and Mary Chain’s Barbed Wire Kisses is a 1988 collection bringing together B-sides, rarities and alternate material from the band’s early years. Moving between feedback-heavy noise pop, stripped-back acoustic recordings and darkly melodic rock & roll, it captures the Reid brothers at their most varied. Highlights include “Kill Surf City,” “Sidewalking,” “Bo Diddley Is Jesus” and their version of “Surfin’ USA.”
