In this final installment of his internationally bestselling trilogy of memoirs, Peter Hook describes the 1980s new wave and post-punk scene and the rise of one of the most important bands of the Second British Invasion: New Order.In May 1980, Joy Division had the world at its feet. Then the band's troubled lead singer, Ian Curtis, committed suicide. In the wake of that tragedy emerged New Order. The band's distinctive sound?a fusion of post-punk and groundbreaking electronica?paved the way for the dance music explosion that followed and continues today. This innovation would earn them the reputation as one of the most influential groups of their generation, and change the course of popular music on both sides of the Atlantic.Substance is a no-holds-barred account of New Order's entire history. Containing outrageous anecdotes, tales of excess and astonishing creative perseverance, Substance is also packed with rich detail, complete discographies, and fascinating technical information about how the music was made. It is also a rollicking read, sure to impress with Hook's talent for recalling the most intimate detail and spinning an epic yarn.

Joy Division changed the face of music. Godfathers of alternative rock, they reinvented music in the post-punk era, creating a new sound?dark, hypnotic, and intense?that would influence U2, Morrissey, R.E.M., Radiohead, and numerous others. The story is now legendary: in 1980, on the heels of their groundbreaking debut album and on the eve of their first U.S. tour, the band was rent asunder by the tragic death of their enigmatic lead singer, Ian Curtis. Yet in the mere three years they were together, they produced two landmark albums and a handful of singles?including the iconic anthem "Love Will Tear Us Apart"?that continue to have a powerful resonance. Now, for the first time, their story is told by one of their own. In Unknown Pleasures, founding member and bass player Peter Hook recounts how four young men from Manchester and Salford rose from the punk scene to create a haunting, atmospheric music that would define a generation. Peter talks with eye-opening candor about the suicide of Ian Curtis; the band's friendships and fallouts; and the larger-than-life characters who formed the Joy Division legend. Told with surprising humor and vivid detail, Unknown Pleasures is the book Joy Division fans have awaited for decades.
