England is a progressive rock band that originated in the heyday of the genre, the 1970s. Though they gained steadfast admiration among aficionados of progressive rock, they remain a cult favourite, cherished for their craftsmanship and the intricate, symphonic quality of their compositions. The band's signature album, "Garden Shed", released in 1977, is celebrated for its blend of pastoral English whimsy and complex musical arrangements, invoking comparisons with genre titans like Genesis and Yes.

After an extended hiatus, England returned to the music scene, celebrating their legacy while also expanding on their discography. "The Last of the Jubblies" is a collection of previously unreleased tracks and early versions of songs that show the band's early formation and creative process. "The Imperial Hotel", released in 2015, pays homage to their progressive rock roots while showcasing new material, and “Box of Circles” from 2018 continues to reflect the band's knack for fusing melodic songwriting with texturally rich progressive elements. "The Concerts in Japan (Live)" captures the revived energy and dynamic performances of the band's more recent tours, offering fans both old and new a taste of England's enduring live presence. Despite being overshadowed by the prominence of their contemporaries, England remains a gem within the progressive rock genre, asserting a distinct musical identity that resonates with a loyal following.
