A little bit of fun. Most 3rd wave Ska is similar but there is enough reverence to Trad Ska for it to be palatable whereas putting in some skanking guitar doesn't really make it Ska at all in my eyes.

Beginner's Guide to Killing Joke

So here's a band that I've really liked for quite a few years now but barely gets talked about on here. I think the only other member I've ever seen mention them is Janzoon which automatically makes him my BFF.

Anyhow Killing Joke is an English Post-Punk/Industrial Rock/Quasi-Metal band that started back in 1979. They're known for a heavy driving sound played at a slow pace. Heavy and slow is the way to describe their music, but there's so much more to it than that. With elements of post-punk, new wave, and pop they really transcended so many boundaries that held back other bands similar in that genre.

I did my best to include songs from all over their discography (which is quite extensive) but for the most part I stuck with their heavier stuff, adding a couple of their poppier songs.

Track Listing

01. "The Death & Resurrection Show" - Killing Joke (2003 version)
02. "Wardance" - Killing Joke (1980 version)
03. "Invocation" - Hosannas from the Basement of Hell
