[kj] It starts...Album & tour Postponed to September

[Alexander Smith]

Rob's right -- the major labels probably don't want to take the  
business gamble with Killing Joke in a industry environment that is  
already plagued with problems. That said, I still think a canonical  
name like "KILLING JOKE" should be able to land a more credible,  
responsible and established indie venture than the evidently  
amateurish Spinefarm.

Isn't this the same scenario that occurred with EXTREMITIES (released  
here in the State initially by metal label Noise International?) The  
moral of the story: KJ shouldn't make deals with long-haired Heshers  
with nose rings and pentagram tattoos.
