Joy Division formed in 1976 in Salford, England. It consisted of Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris. Originally called Warsaw, the band's sound originated from the proto-punk scene in North East England to become a major influence in the development of punk music.

After the death of lead singer Ian Curtis in 1980, the band reformed as New Order.
