Luxuria was a British duo formed in 1987 by vocalist Howard Devoto, former member of Buzzcocks and Magazine, and instrumentalist Norman Fisher‑Jones. The partnership originated after Howard Devoto and Norman Fisher‑Jones met through Pete Shelley, and they quickly secured a contract with Beggars Banquet. Their debut single, "Redneck", was released on 23 November 1987, followed by "Public Highway" in May 1988. In 1988 the group issued their first album, Unanswerable Lust, on Beggars Banquet, and in 1990 followed with Beast Box, the duo’s final studio effort. Both albums were later reissued in a combined 3×CD set by Cherry Red in 2011. The duo’s releases, while not chart‑toppling, contributed to the UK alternative rock scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s and remain catalogued in major music databases. The group disbanded after Beast Box and has not released new material since.
