Peter Hook to make U.S. appearances for New Order book

Here is some cool news for New Order fans. Read more from the press release below...

Following the tragic death of lead singer Ian Curtis on the eve of their first US Tour, Peter Hook and Joy Division’s remaining members resurrected themselves into what would become one of the most influential bands of the eighties. New Order’s distinctive sound - a fusion of post-punk and ground-breaking electronica – inspired and paved the way for the dance music revolution. Throughout their career, the band scaled the heights of success with huge hits including “Bizarre Love Triangle,” “Perfect Kiss,” "Regret" and “Blue Monday” – the biggest selling 12-inch single of all time.

Yet despite their renown, the band was entrenched in a battle between the visionary and the volatile, and their relationships were often fraught with tensions. SUBSTANCE: Inside New Order - out Jan. 31 - is packed with outrageous anecdotes and the “gleefully profane” (Entertainment Weekly) storytelling of his first two books, this is a no-holds barred, comprehensive history of New Order. The candid memories and sense of humor displayed throughout will more than satisfy Hook’s fans and thrill new readers.

Including every New Order set list and tour itinerary, SUBSTANCE is also interspersed with "geek facts" about every piece of electronic equipment used to forge the sound that changed the direction of popular music, discographies, gigographies, and track-by-track analysis, as well as exclusive photographs and archival images from Peter’s personal collection. A compelling snapshot of the era, SUBSTANCE brings readers backstage to the 80s music scene in all its now nostalgic glory.
