Formed in Oxford, England in the early 1990s, the Egg's first release was the Shopping EP (1995) on independent label Cup of Tea Records. Having been signed by China Records they released the Albumen LP in 1996. In 1998 the follow-up album Travelator was released, produced by Tim Holmes of Death in Vegas.

Following Travelator, the record label (now owned by Warner Music Group)dropped The Egg. It was in 2004 that they made a return with new album Forwards, produced by Benji Vaughan and released on Squarepeg Records records (www.squarepeg-uk.com)
