[kj] Gothtastic

[Paul Rangecroft]

Yes I agree, Jim. Killing Joke aren't a goth band but there's clearly
an overlap with some of their material and nothing wrong with that. A
dark, brooding single about death with blood in the title taken from
an album called "Night Time" would obviously be of interest to anyone
into that genre. That doens't mean the band itself and everything they
do is forever lumped in that category. The Guardian playlist is a good
bit of publicity that may well lead others like you to discover their
diversity.
