Inside Joy Division
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 enduring alternative scene, they reinvented rock in the post-punk era, creating a sound – dark, hypnotic, intense – that would influence U2, Morrissey, R.E.M., Radiohead and many others. This is the rollercoaster story of Joy Division – the friendships, fights, fall-outs; the rehearsals and recording sessions; the larger than life characters – told by the band’s legendary bassist, Peter Hook.
