Joy Division

== Info ==
Post punk band who are named after a type of Nazi concentration camp where they would make it look like the prisoners were happy when on camera. They were the inspiration for the song Let's Dance to Joy Division, which references their song Love Will Tear Us Apart. They have influenced many post punk revival bands including Editors and Interpol. The band broke up after lead vocalist Ian Curtis committed suicide after suffering for years from epilepsy. Their song Shadowplay was covered by indie pop band The Killers, which has been criticized as The Killers are a sellout band popular amongst millennials whereas Joy Division was a dark, underground band. The Killers version has also been criticized for being less moody and too upbeat. Their breakup came shortly before their scheduled debut in the United States, which was canceled.
