Out Of Joy Division; New Order

from The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll · host The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

To understand the story of Joy Division, and how they became New Order requires some patience, and more. The "why?" in the equation is also discussed, including the lack of support in the area of mental health in that era. The suicide of Ian Curtis might have crashed most bands, but the survivors carried on with a New Order! The impact of both bands carries on today. The full story unfolds in this episode: joy, pain, recovery, fortitude and incredible music! Tom Taylor wrote an article about Ian Curtis's final days for Far Out Magazine here!
