Question: Which band formed earlier The Jesus and Mary Chain or The Owl Service?
Context: "Upside Down" is the first single from the Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain.  The song was written by William Reid and Jim Reid, and was produced by The Jesus and Mary Chain.  The b-side is a cover of a Syd Barrett song and was produced by Joe Foster. Automatic is the third album by Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain.  The group on this record is basically the core duo of brothers William and Jim Reid with a drum machine providing percussion and even a synthesizer filling in on bass guitar.  The only other credited musician was Richard Thomas who joined the touring version of The Jesus and Mary Chain as a drummer.  Thomas drummed on "Gimme Hell" and was a former member of Dif Juz.  He also made appearances on Cocteau Twins' 1986 Victorialand LP and This Mortal Coil's 1986 Filigree & Shadow. "Never Understand" is the first single from the Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain's debut album "Psychocandy".  It was the band's first release on Blanco y Negro Records and was released through them in February 1985.  The song was written by William Reid and Jim Reid, and was produced by The Jesus and Mary Chain.  It is considered influential for its use of guitar feedback. Ecstasy is the second mini album by the alternative rock band My Bloody Valentine, released on 23 November 1987 on Lazy Records.  Released in a limited edition of 3,000 copies, it was the band's final release for Lazy Records and second to feature vocalist and guitarist Bilinda Butcher, who was recruited in April 1987 following the departure of original My Bloody Valentine vocalist David Conway.  "Ecstasy" followed the noise pop and twee pop standards of My Bloody Valentine's earlier releases for the label, drawing influence from various artists including The Jesus and Mary Chain, Love and The Byrds, and the album distanced the band further from their earlier post-punk and gothic rock sound.
