- that would influence U2 Morrissey R.E.M. Radiohead & many others. The band's image once subversive & alienating has become an internationally renowned 'look' well documented by photographers Anton Corbijn Kevin Cummins & graphic designer Peter Saville. Inspired by the attitude energy & sound of Punk particularly the Sex Pistols Peter Hook & his old school friend Bernard Sumner started a band which continues to influence popular music 35 years later uniting with a gifted lead-singer & lyricist Ian Curtis & a brilliant drummer Stephen Morris. With some cobbled together instruments & a clapped out old van four young lads from Manchester & Salford shared the same vision & created their own unique sound in pubs & clubs first across the north-west then across the whole of Britain until in 1980 they had released two albums & were on the cusp of touring America. Then Ian Curtis committed suicide leaving everyone around him bereft. Best known for the propulsive bass guitar melodies of ' Love Will Tear Us Apart' Hooky was at the heart of the sound that came to define an era & inspire a generation. In the frank no-holds-barred style that has seen his previous book The Hacienda: How Not to Run a Club hailed as one of the best music books of 2009 Peter ' Hooky' Hook gives us the inside story of life with Joy Division. He talks with eye-opening candour & reflection about the suicide of Ian Curtis: often seen as the intellectual one" to Peter & the band he was just "one of the lads" & the burden of balancing his epilepsy & the demands of his domestic life only really emerged when it was too late. He covers the band's friendships & fall-outs; their rehearsals & recording sessions; & the larger-than-life characters who formed a vital part of the Joy Division legend: Tony Wilson Rob Gretton Martin Hannett & more."
