Joy Division were an
English rock band that formed in 1976 in
Salford,
Greater Manchester. The band consisted of
Ian Curtis (
vocals and
guitar),
Bernard Sumner (
guitar and
keyboards),
Peter Hook (
bass guitar and
vocals), and
Stephen Morris (
drums and
percussion). With their dark, cavernous sound and use of
guitars, throbbing
bass, and
electronics, they pioneered the
post-punk sound of the late 1970s. In May 1980, after the suicide of
Ian Curtis, the remaining members reformed as
New Order and went on to achieve much critical and commercial success.
