Joy Division - a pioneering post punk band from Manchester, England, formed in 1976. Their music, led by the haunting vocals of Ian Curtis, explored themes of isolation and despair.

"Unknown Pleasures" (1979), is a dark, atmospheric masterpiece, featuring tracks like "She's Lost Control" and "Disorder," establishing their legendary status in alternative music. The album turns 45 this year and we will be celebrating its glorious bleakness.
