[kj] CANDLELIGHT mailer says Jaz will do guest vox on upcoming October File tracks

[Alexander Smith]

Their cover art is by the same dude who did the cover art for  
HOSANNAS. I haven't listened to their music, but it strikes me that  
they're molding themselves a little TOO CLOSELY to our beloved  
Killing Joke.

Whatever happened to being original?
