Joy Division
Joy Division were an English post-punk group formed in Salford in 1976 by Ian Curtis (vocals), Bernard Sumner (guitar, keyboards), Peter Hook (bass) and Stephen Morris (drums). Their albums Unknown Pleasures (1979) and Closer (1980), both produced by Martin Hannett, are their whole studio output. Curtis died in May 1980 at the age of 23, and the other three carried on as New Order. Joy Division started out as Warsaw and self-released their debut EP An Ideal for Living in 1978. Unknown Pleasures came out on Factory Records.
