Joy Division

Joy DivisionJoy Division were a band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. Much of their popularity/reputation arguably resulted from frequent playings on air by iconic DJ John Peel, but it is easy now to overlook the impact that the first album, Unknown Pleasures, had on post-punk music at the time, as reference the number of prominent bands that cited this album as an influence.
Band From: United Kingdom, Salford - Greater Manchester - England
Band Members: Ian Curtis (vocals), Peter Hook (bass guitar and backing vocals), Bernard Sumner (guitar and keyboards), and Stephen Morris (drums and percussion)
