British music monthly tells the story of Joy Division, one of the most iconic
post-punks bands ever. It all started with Warsaw, a band set up by Bernard
Sumner and Peter Hook, after seeing the Sex Pistols in 1976, next year 50 years
ago.

Stephen Morris (drummer): ““In Warsaw it was all about the riff. Joy Division was all
about the space. Not to denigrate Ian in any way but we wanted to take it on somewhere.
The question we were asking is, ‘What are we doing?’.”

After Ian Curtis‘s untimely passing, the remaining members decided to continue.

They started to investigate the possibilities of a hybrid electronic/guitar
music as New Order. The succeeding years delivered exceptional albums.

Morris about NO: “I think we all find it daunting starting with nothing. It’s like
you’ve got a mountain to climb and no-one can remember where they’ve put the
ropes. But when New Order’s good, it’s fantastic.”
