"Birds of a Feather" is a song by English rock band Killing Joke. It was released as a 7" single in October 1982 by record labels E.G. and Polydor in The Netherlands and also as a three-track EP by E.G. and Passport.

Content

Birds of a Feather was Killing Joke's first EP with new bass guitarist Paul Raven. It contained music that was artier and relatively calmer than the music from the band's first three studio albums, thus beginning a new direction. The new style was continued with the non-album singles "Me or You?" (1983) and "A New Day" (1984).[1]

Release

The single reached No. 64 in the UK Singles Chart.[2]
