[kj] quiet

[wessidetempest .]

Killing Joke seemed to always, ALWAYS, talk big and grandeous. And when it comes time to deliver its a safe bet it will be later and based more in reality.  
A single and two releases by 2013?  They'd be lucky if they get a single (of an old song mind you) by mid March. 
I love Killing Joke. But this is a group of 4 (minimally 2) people that are older and have other things going on.  There hasn't been a constant stream of new material since the 80s. A new record and stream or reissues and comps doesn't count.

There is a project being discussed in relation to the singles but what that is has yet to be finalised. It could be one of many things. There is talk of a tour to support the latter whatever it may be.
