| Joy Division was a post-punk band hailing from Manchester, UK. Formed in the mid 70's after a Sex Pistols concert. In 1978 the band settled for Joy Division as their name and began recording their debut album "Unknown Pleasures"The band achieved a cult status, as all concerts were close to provoke internal and external chaos and riot. In addition to singer Ian Curtis' struggle with epilepsy that more than once put an abrupt end to their gigs.  Pic: Ian CurtisIan Curtis' problems with epilepsy, depression and other personal struggles ended in tragedy when he committed suicide on the 18th of May 1980. Two month later, "Love Will Tear Us Apart" had reached the Top 20 on UK charts while Joy Division's second album, "Closer", reached the Top 10. I discovered the band through the movie Control from 2007 which was directed by Anton Corbijn. I think the movie is a great door-opening to discover the music and tragedy behind Joy Division and Ian Curtis. Recommended tracks: Isolation, New Dawn Fades, She's Lost Control, Love Will Tear Us Apart.Joy Division Biography | |
