Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division Peter Hook Simon & Schuster Ltd

\'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.   \'Hook has restored a flesh-and-blood rawness to what was becoming a standard tale. Few pop music books manage that\' Guardian   \'An honest, enthusiastic account . . . it’s a window like no other into the reality of life in this most aloof of bands\' Metro   \'An immense account of Joy Division’s rise . . . having read Hook’s book, you’ll feel like you were the fifth member of the band\' GQ   \'A bittersweet, profanity-filled recollection . . . if you like Joy Division, you really have to read it\' Q Magazine   \'Hook lifts the lid on the real Ian Curtis\' NME   \'He\'s frank, incredibly funny, and it isn’t shy\' Artrocker Σελίδες: 368, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0714, Διαστάσεις: 13x13cm
