Killing Joke are an influential UK punk/goth/rock/industrial band. Formed by Jaz Coleman (lead vocals), Big Paul Ferguson (drums), Martin 'Youth' Glover (bass) and Kenneth 'Geordie' Walker (guitar) in late 1978 or early 1979. According to Coleman, their manifesto was to "define the exquisite beauty of the atomic age in terms of style, sound and form".
Other notable members over the years include bassist Paul Raven and drummer Martin Atkins.
