The story of Joy Division told by the band's legendary bassist, Peter Hook.

'Genuinely funny: indeed, the story will… keep you entertained for a very long time' Sunday Times

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 story of Joy Division told by the band's legendary bassist, Peter Hook.
