Joy Division was born 45 years ago. Unfortunately, the short and eventful life of Ian Curtis came to an early end. We are talking about 1980: the time of economic crises, black clothes, the Cold War and New Wave music. The most notable band in this period is Joy Division, a British post-punk formation that had a lot of influence on later gothic and New Wave bands. But the band’s influences didn’t stop there; a lot of bands today – such as Editors, Interpol and White Lies – are also inspired by the unique sound of this British band.
