Jesus Jones is a British alternative rock band formed in the 1980s. The band was initially started by Mike Edwards and Simon Matthews, who later met Alan Doughty. After unsuccessful attempts under different names, Jesus Jones was born with the addition of Iain Baker and Jerry de Abela Borg. They signed a deal with Food Records after persistent efforts, releasing their demo which included popular tracks like "Info Freako," "Cut & Dried," and "Welcome Back Victoria."
However, when EMI became more involved in Food Records, they exerted more control over Jesus Jones' music, resulting in their album "Already" suffering from delayed release and lack of label support. Eventually dropped by the label, Mike Edwards remained as part of the band while Gen left due to conflicting schedules with other projects.
The band continued with Tony Arthy as their new drummer and signed with Koch Records. Their album "London" received critical acclaim but did not achieve commercial success. Despite this setback, Jesus Jones released the 4-track single "Culture Vulture," allowing fans to create their own mixes using elements from the title track.

Jesus Jones (Mike Edwards - guitar, vocals; Tony de Borg - guitars; Al Doughty - bass; Gen - drums; and Iain Baker - keyboards, samples) arrived on the scene in 1989 with three charting singles and debut album "Liquidizer". The band followed this with many more hit singles and the very successful albums "Doubt" (1991), "Perverse" (1993) and "Already" (1997). 

Fifth album "London" arrived in October 2001 with new drummer Tony Arthy on board, and featured the singles "Nowhere Slow", "Come On Home" and "In Face Of All This". 

Here's what Iain Baker has to say about this album: "London" was a musical consolidation, but without their traditional industry support, the release was essentially self-supported. Turmoil is something that drives "London". Despite purporting to be a love letter to the city that inspired him, the album was to be filled with even more soul-searching than "Perverse". It's the sound of Mike trying to make sense of it all, whilst trying not to be dragged down by the analysis. 

The album is pressed on white vinyl, and appears on vinyl for the first time ever!
