Joy Division formed in June 1976 following childhood friends Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook attending a now-legendary Sex Pistols gig in Manchester. Inspired by the raw energy of the performance, the pair decided to form a band, soon joined by vocalist Ian Curtis and drummer Stephen Morris. Initially performing under the name Warsaw, the group fused punk aggression with a darker, more introspective edge, led by Curtis’s hypnotic presence as frontman. In January 1978, they renamed themselves Joy Division, Joy Division disbanded in 1980 following Ian Curtis’s tragic suicide.
Throughout their all-too-brief existence, both Stephen Morris and manager Rob Gretton recorded the band’s rehearsals, intended as a means of promotion and preservation. Captured between 1977 and 1980, these recordings offer an unfiltered glimpse into the band’s formative stages. The tapes are intimate portraits of a group honing their craft. They demonstrate the band working through both new ideas and now-familiar material characterised by Curtis’s commanding vocals, Sumner’s jagged guitar work, Hook’s melodic basslines, and Morris’s crisp, driving rhythms.
