Special: Books for Xmas 3 - John Aizlewood - DECADES Joy Division New Order

Books for Xmas; This week a look at DECADES Joy Division + New Order from John Aizlewood. ⁠⁠Both bands were genre-defining, Joy Division consisting of Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, and Stephen Morris, proponents of dark and gloomy atmospheric music, and whose legendary status remains intact through Ian Curtis' suicide shortly before the release of Closer. And the band's remaining members were, with the addition of Gillian Gilbert, to become - New Order, with their dance-infused music which would make them one of the most influential bands of the 1980s. ⁠⁠Author John Aizlewood relates the story of both bands in the podcast. His book DECADES Joy Division + New Order provides a fascinating insight into these influential bands, and the unique story of what was to start as a close friendship between Sumner and Hook, and end in its dissolution.⁠
