SCREAMING TARTS PRESENTS… Jesus Jones.Wednesday October 8th 2025. The Welly Club, Hull.Jesus Jones formed back in 1988, born out of the struggles of everyday bands and their battles to find their own voice. The band’s vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter, Mike Edwards was frustrated with a lack of progress, and stung by a music business that seemed to have passed them by. That was until he came across an as-yet unproven new technology: sampling. A cheap guitar pedal could be tweaked to grab sounds and replay them, twisting them into new forms. That lightbulb moment led to their debut single “Info Freako,” a rapid-fire burst of anarchic sonic attack, with breakbeats and funky b-lines josting for attention over walls of brutal guitar and yelped vocals. It quickly set a blueprint and, armed with a proper-brand-new sampler, their debut album “Liquidizer” soon followed.The press in the UK finally sat up and took notice. Edwards was on a roll. That run of success quickly snowballed as the band released their second album “Doubt” in 1991. The band’s pop sensibilities and innovative approach found new, eager audiences worldwide. The album became a phenomenon in the United States, selling over a million copies. Their single “Right Here, Right Now” became an iconic moment in the language of early 90’s crossover hits, racing to the top of the US charts.Disclaimer:
