I don't know if I can convey this properly. It makes sense in my head. Anyway.

There have always been metal moments. But unlike the NWOBHM which took standard rock to another level the metal seem to be more based in a trance style of music. And I guess what I mean by that in those electronic types of music you will typically have a common pattern that repeats over and over and over and over and over again. So instead of a keyboard blip its a guitar chug. It is taking the electronic devise and adding a human element. The movement of the human hand.

I mean, KJ are certainly not a metal band in the same way as, say, Saxon or Quiet Riot, but you cannot deny that there is an metal element to their sound.

I remember reading an interview or review way back (in the eighties) which described them as dub metal. (If memory serves, WTF was specifically referenced.) Personally, I can't see the metal bit, but I'm not much of a muso...

Brendan - which (pre-Pandemonium) tracks do you think are at the metal end of the Joke's spectrum?

as well as reggae elements then, their penchant for roots was evident
does that then, using some peoples argument, make them a reggae/dub band?

its a silly discussion, they are what they are and trying to put
labels on them simply does them injustice.
