464 Killing Joke - Killing Joke

In October of 1980 Killing Joke released their debut album. "Bass,
lead, to tell the killing joke, we mean it man! Total exploitation,
no information, anonymity" was the rallying cry posted in Melodie
Maker Magazine by keyboardist/singer Jaz Coleman and drummer Paul
Fergeson in 1979. With the addition of guitarist Geordie Walker and
bassist Youth, the band headed into the studio in August of 1980.
Recorded at Marquee Studios in London and self-produced by the
band, the album trail-blazed a sound that the Chicago indie scene
of 5 years later would owe a true debt. Lets talk Killing Joke,
Killing Joke!
