Jesus Jones

Jesus Jones formed in Bradford-on-Avon in 1988, Mike Edwards's inventive songwriting and the band's electronic rock sound giving them a quality that was immediately distinctive. They signed to Food Records and released their debut album 'Liquidizer' (1989) — a record of extraordinary energy and invention that showed a band capable of real originality.

'Doubt' (1991) was the breakthrough — 'Right Here, Right Now', 'International Bright Young Thing', and 'Real Real Real' were all excellent singles. 'Right Here, Right Now' became one of the most recognisable British singles of the year — its celebration of the end of the Cold War and the dawn of a new era felt genuinely timely. The album reached number one in the UK.

Jesus Jones have continued to record and tour with remarkable consistency. Their early records have aged well — the synthesis of rock and electronic music that they pioneered in the early 1990s has become the template for much subsequent British music.
