Peter Hook, born on February 13, 1956 in Salford, Greater Manchester, England, is a renowned bassist known for his contributions to the bands Joy Division and New Order.
With his distinctive basslines and unique playing style, Hook played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of both bands. He was a founding member of Joy Division, which emerged from the post-punk scene in the late 1970s. After the tragic death of lead singer Ian Curtis, Joy Division transformed into New Order.
Throughout his career, Peter Hook has left an indelible mark on the music industry with his innovative bass playing and influential songwriting. His contributions continue to inspire musicians and fans alike.

New Wave / Post Punk

In Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division, Peter Hook, bassist for the legendary, groundbreaking band Joy Division, takes readers backstage with the group that helped define the sound of a generation and influenced artists such as U2, Radiohead, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Unlike other books about Joy Division, Factory Records, or lead singer Ian Curtis—who took his own life just before the band's first U.S. Tour—Unknown Pleasures tells Joy Division's story from the unique perspective of one of the three surviving band members.

Told with surprising humor and vivid detail, Unknown Pleasures is the book Joy Division fans have been waiting for.
