Joy Divisionwere an English rock band formed in Salford in 1976. The group consisted of vocalist Ian Curtis, guitarist/keyboardist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris.

Sumner and Hook formed the band after attending a Sex Pistols concert. While Joy Division's first recordings were heavily influenced by early punk, they soon developed a sound and style that made them one of the pioneers of the post-punk movement. Their self-released 1978 debut EPAn Ideal for Livingdrew the attention of the Manchester television personality Tony Wilson, who signed them to his independent label Factory Records. Their debut albumUnknown Pleasures, recorded with producer Martin Hannett, was released in 1979.
