So in this first interview, they will learn about his life outside of Killing Joke, which incidentally is very fruitful.
single came out on island and charted, not a bad start I was 16... I then worked with make on the first Killing Joke single “Turn to red” and many more remixes and productions after.

The rage was a great experience though we didn’t record. My first tour was 32 dates supporting the Adverts and the Saints I was still 15 and a virgin!
