Yet, at the same time, they also had quite a few North-African and Eastern influences here and there. It's a great and quite unique blend. An overlooked Post-Punk gem. They deserved so much more attention than they got. |
Joy Division you sayyy? My interest is peaked. I shall check them out post-apocalypse piss up.
Has anyone ever noticed Joy Division have the same initials as Jack Daniels? The two singular greatest inventions of the modern world. Nah, me either. Thats is, not until I drank this bottle of Hop House 13. Let's hear it for alcohol yea; and let's be honest, pure ignorant stupidity, for not noticing.
Cheers.
