The band reformations/re-activations just keep coming – but here’s one we’re actually excited about at Tone Deaf HQ. Killing Joke are back with a new album entitled Feast of Fools and some showcase gigs in London, Edinburgh, New York City and Los Angeles over April, May and June. The new album has been recorded by the original line up of Jaz Coleman, Youth, Geordie Walker and Paul Ferguson, who reunited after the death of longtime bass player Paul Raven in 2007. A seminal heavy rock band, Killing Joke influenced everyone from Jane’s Addiction to Nirvana, Helmet to Nine Inch Nails. Youth had better hurry up though – he’s currently recording Children Collide’s sophomore album in the UK and Spain.
