Joy Division


a music band that existed back in 1977-1980.
released two alb-ms: “unknown pleasures” and “closer”.
most known song is “love will tear us apart”.
played gloomy goth rock, post punk, new wave style. think of the cure only joy division is more depressive.
ended up because lead singer of the band, ian curtis, who suffered from epilepsy and depression, commited suicide by hanging in 1980 may 18th (at the age of 24).
this band is not so known but their influence to the whole goth, post punk and new wave music was tremendous.

if you are goth and don’t know this band, shame on you. i’m not goth but still know it.

“his second (and final) alb-m with joy division – ‘closer’ – is considered one of the darkest and most haunting alb-ms in music history. the lyrics largely doc-ment curtis’s emotional turmoil leading up to his suicide.” -us.imdb.com
mother i tried please believe me
i’m doing the best that i can
i’m ashamed of the things i’ve been put through
i’m ashamed of the person i am

isolation, isolation, isolation
1. a great band.
2. what the n-z-s called female prisoners who were kept alive to be prost-tutes for the german army.
love will tear us apart, again
former definition is ok for 100% (band name), but the origin of the bands name is:

the joy division was a known name for areas in concentration camps (2nd w.w.) where (female) prisoners offered their services to the (german) guards.
joy division still rules (great music from the 80’s)
an area of ww2 concentration camps where women and children were forced into s-xual slavery.
take them to the joy division.
one of the best and most influential bands of all time.
they sounded like nothing before them and no one has sounded anything like them since. while at first i dudn’t really like them them the more in listened to them the more i loved them and i now listen to them everyday. this is the band that single handedly invented post- punk ad ian curtis was a true genuius.
me: i love

“joy division!”

my gf: your so weird
post punk / punk / new wave under the famous manager tony wilson, band started in 1976 after seeing a live performance of the s-x pistols, front man ian curtis committed suicide in 1980, the band moved on to creat such bands as new order
love will tear us apart by joy division is a terrible song! try listening to dissorder or digital
