Joy Division was a British punk/post-punk/new wave band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester. Originally named Warsaw, they quickly changed their name to Joy Division at the start of 1978. The band gained recognition with the release of their first EP. Tragically, lead vocalist Ian Curtis took his own life on May 18, 1980. Following this devastating event, the remaining members formed New Order, as agreed upon prior to Curtis's death.The band consisted of Ian Curtis on vocals and occasional guitar, Bernard Sumner on guitar and keyboards, Peter "Hooky" Hook on bass guitar and backing vocals, and Stephen Morris on drums and percussion.Despite their short-lived career, Joy Division left an indelible mark on the music industry with their unique sound that blended punk rock with post-punk and new wave influences. Their haunting lyrics and atmospheric melodies continue to resonate with fans around the world.

remastered. 'still' collects outtakes and rarities along with a live set recorded on may 2, 1980, just over two weeks prior to ian curtis' death. in addition to the atmospheric 'glass' and the haunting funeral march 'dead souls,' the studio sides include four leftover tracks from the sessions for 'unknown pleasures', while the concert set includes performances of seminal tracks such as 'transmission,' 'isolation' and 'a means to an end.' although neither as cogent nor as indispensible as the band's two studio records or the 'substance' compilation, 'still' is nonetheless a valuable chronicle of joy division's remarkable evolution, a growth charted by the inclusion of an early live cover of the velvet underground's 'sister ray' to the only recorded version of the hypnotic 'ceremony,' the ultimate ian curtis composition which later resurfaced as the first single from new order. reproduced in the original book-bound packaging
