 In the spring of 2009 the band finalized the 12 songs that would become Killing Time’s third LP and first studio effort in over ten years.Recorded in July 2009 at Electroluxe Studios in Brooklyn, “Three Steps Back”, released on Dead City Records, the band drew on their various influences and musicianship to craft twelve news songs that bring New York Hardcore back to its punk roots while still offering up that classic Killing Time crunch and power.In 2003, Carl Porcaro contributed some additional guitar work on a cover version of "Tell Tale" by New Jersey hardcore punk band, Ensign, on their album "Love the Music, Hate the Kids".
