British post-punks reunite with promise of new material

Influential British post-punk outfit Killing Joke have reformed and revealed they will record new material and tour.

The four original members – Jaz Coleman, Kevin ‘Geordie’ Walker, Martin Ferguson, Martin ‘Youth’ Glover – have reunited for the first time since the early eighties. They will conduct a short world tour later this year, as well as releasing a new album this summer.

Frontman Jaz Coleman, speaking to Blabbermouth.net, said: “At last a ray of sunlight to illuminate these dark days. It is indeed my deepest pleasure to announce the dates of the 29th anniversary of the gathering.
