Unknown Pleasures

More about the book

Joy Division changed the face of music. Godfathers of the current alternative scene, they reinvented rock in the post-punk era, creating a new sound - dark, hypnotic, intense - that would influence U2, Morrissey, R.E.M., Radiohead and many others. This is the rollercoaster story of Joy Division - the friendships, fights, fallouts; the rehearsals and recording sessions; the larger than life characters - told by the band's legendary bassist, Peter Hook.
