Gene Loves Jezebel

Gene Loves Jezebel are a British alternative rock band formed in the early 1980s by identical twin brothers Jay (born John) and Michael Aston. Gene Loves Jezebel's best-known songs include "Heartache", "Desire (Come and Get It)" (1986), "The Motion of Love" (1987), "Jealous" (1990), and "Break the Chain" (1993), as well as alternative club hits "Bruises" (1983), "Influenza (Relapse)" (1984), and "The Cow" (1985). "The Motion of Love" was the band's most successful UK single. The name of the band is a reference to rock musician Gene Vincent and his song "Jezebel". As the result of a rift between the Aston brothers in 1997 and ongoing legal issues, there are currently two incarnations of the band.
==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have discovered the group in 1983, when he played their debut single on his radio programmes. He continued playing their material until the mid 80's and had them do two sessions for his programmes including adding their track, 'Always A Flame', to the U.K. Buzz compilation vinyls, which Peel narrated.
