Description
Fin des années 1970, inspirés par l'énergie du punk, Peter Hook et Bernard Sumner, à qui se sont joints Ian Curtis, chanteur-compositeur et Stephen Morris à la batterie, démarrent un groupe qui influence encore aujourd'hui la musique pop. Avec quelques instruments rassemblés à la va-vite et un vieux van, voilà les quatre jeunes gars de Manchester et de Salford partis écumer les pubs et les clubs d'Angleterre. Le premier concert sous le nom de Joy Division - est catastrophique. Ce n'est pas grave, ils continuent. En 1980, ils sortent deux albums et sont sur le point de tourner en Amérique. Tout s'enchaîne. Joy Division a métamorphosé le visage de la musique. Parrains de la scène alternative actuelle, les membres du groupe ont revitalisé le rock à l'ère du post-punk, élaborant un son nouveau, sombre, hypnotique et intense, qui influencera The Cure, Morrissey, Radiohead et de nombreux autres.
