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.

Originating from Wiltshire, 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 a charting debut album "Liquidizer". The band followed this in 1990 with more hit singles and the album "Doubt", Gold in the UK and Platinum in the US. 

Third album "Perverse" (January 1993) was preceded by the Top 10 hit "The Devil You Know", and subsequently the hits "The Right Decision" and "Zeroes And Ones". The album went to # 6 in the UK. 

Here's what Iain Baker has to say about this album: "There's a pretty strong argument for saying that "Perverse" is the first real Jesus Jones album. The previous two albums always felt a little like we were working towards someone else's agenda - with "Perverse" we were finally free to make a record which was of our own choosing." 

Featuring the hit singles "Zeroes And Ones", "The Right Decision" and Top 10 hit "The Devil You Know", the album is pressed on translucent blue vinyl.
