In this final installment of his bestselling memoir trilogy, British rocker Peter Hook delves into the 1980s New Wave and Dance Punk scene, spotlighting the rise of New Order, a pivotal band of the Second British Invasion. Emerging from the aftermath of Joy Division following lead singer Ian Curtis's tragic suicide, New Order became one of the most acclaimed bands of the decade. With iconic hits like "Bizarre Love Triangle," "Perfect Kiss," and "Blue Monday"—the best-selling 12-inch single ever—they quickly ascended to the forefront of the alternative music landscape. Celebrated as the godfathers of electronic dance music, their innovative sound influenced a generation of artists, including Moby and The Chemical Brothers. Hook recounts the unfiltered story of New Order’s formation, their vibrant experiences in New York City's club scene, and their rise to global fame, alongside their significant impact on house music and rave culture. Infused with his trademark humor and vivid storytelling, this memoir offers a candid look at the band's tumultuous journey, complete with timelines, discographies, and exclusive photographs from Hook’s collection, making it a definitive history of New Order and a vibrant reflection of the '80s cultural landscape.
