Jesus Jones is a British alternative rock band that formed in late 1988 in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire. The band gained prominence in the early 1990s with their blend of techno beats and guitar-driven rock music. Fronted by lead vocalist and songwriter Mike Edwards, the group enjoyed critical and commercial success with hit singles like "Right Here, Right Now" and "Real Real Real," which exemplified the zeitgeist of the era with their themes of global connectivity and the rapid changes at the end of the Cold War.

Throughout their career, Jesus Jones maintained a reputation for fusing the energy of rock with the emerging electronic dance music scene. Although their mainstream appeal peaked in the early '90s, they have continued to produce music and tour, while retaining a loyal fan base. The band's more recent releases, such as the contemplative "Where Are All the Dreams? (Radio Remix)" and the energetic "Wired and Windburned," demonstrate their commitment to evolving their sound while staying true to their electronic rock roots. With albums like "Voyages" and "Passages," they have continued to explore new sonic territories. "The Collection" and "The Remixes" serve as celebrations of their extensive oeuvre, catering to both long-time followers and inviting new listeners to experience their transformative sound.
