Two acclaimed albums and an upcoming US tour - Joy Division had the
world at their feet. Then, on the eve of that tour and the
beginning of what would surely have been an international success
story, the band's troubled lead singer, Ian Curtis, killed himself.
'We didn't really think about it afterwards. It just sort of
happened. One day we were Joy Division, then our lead singer killed
himself and the next time we got together, we were a new
band...'Peter Hook That band was New Order.Their distinctive sound
- a fusion of post-punk and ground-breaking electronica - paved the
way for the dance music explosion of the '80s and earned them the
reputation as one of the most influential bands of their
generation. Despite their success, the band has always been a
collision the visionary and the volatile, and relationships have
often been fraught with tensions. Peter Hook has written a
no-holds-barred, comprehensive account of the band's entire
history, packed with outrageous anecdotes and including every set
list and tour itinerary and interspersed with 'geek facts' of every
piece of electronic equipment used to forge the sound that changed
the direction of popular music.
