Peter Hook says New Order and Joy Division are one band…

NEW ORDER say they still feel the influence of Joy Division frontman IAN CURTIS.


Speaking to NME.COM bassist Peter Hook said “we don’t see [a][/a] as a different group apart from not having Ian there physically. He’s still there mentally. Spiritually.”


The full story of New Order is told in NME out now nationwide, while a documentary about the Godlike Geniuses will air on VH2 next week (March 7).


Featuring live footage and videos the programme ‘From Joy Division To New Order’ is at 7pm on the music channel and charts the Manchester pioneers’ rise.
