about.....

A favourite of the 80's Indie-Rock-Art-Goth scene, Gene Loves Jezebel have always been innovative and groundbreaking, despite having had a somewhat, troubled existence over the years. With twin brothers Michael and Jay Aston, Gene Loves Jezebel won permanent spots in fans' hearts, with their music.

Now in 2005, Michael Aston returns with an awesome new Gene Loves Jezebel album, 'Exploding Girls', which has already received a FIVE STAR review in ROLLING STONE, which highlighted the title track as "a smouldering, melodic meditation" (the song is about Wafa Idris, Palestine's first female suicide bomber).

Beggars Banquet will be releasing a 'Best Of' Gene Loves Jezebel album and re-releasing the first 3 classic albums, in de-luxe expanded editions, these releases are planned for May 2005 release. For further information on these, click Here

EXPLODING GIRLS will be released in Europe in May 2005 on Track Records, distributed by Universal, with summer-long tours and festival appearances, promoting the album.

"Exploding Girl" is a smoldering, melodic meditation"

Gene Loves Jezebel
Exploding Girls

Gene Loves Jezebel have been around (in various permutations) since goth diverged from the early Eighties neo-romantic scene. Though frontman Michael Aston (whose twin brother Jay lost rights to the band name in 1997) is more goth-ish than gothic, he has a flair for the dramatic and knows how to use it. "Exploding Girl" is a smoldering, melodic meditation on Wafa Idris, Palestine's first female suicide bomber, in which Aston eschews judgment in favor of character analysis, at one point evoking Joan of Arc. Other topical and personal insights surface amid edgy tunes shot through with exotic flavors, ranging from the slinky electronica-tinged groove behind the bittersweet "2 Hungry Women" to the African-style percussion driving "Blue Mary." This fetching album will hold a special appeal for those who fondly recall the days when goth was more about romantic yearning (in the Bronte sense) and gritty pop rock than fetish gear and down-tuned guitars.
