New Order is an English rock band formed in 1980. The band was formed by vocalist and guitarist Bernard Sumner, drummer Stephen Morris and bassist Peter Hook.
New Order was formed after the demise of Joy Division, following the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis.
Band's early years were overshadowed by the legacy of Joy Division, their experience of the early 1980s New York club scene saw them increasingly incorporate dance rhythms and electronic instrumentation into their work.
New Order was briefly disbanded in 1993 to work on individual projects before reuniting in 1998.
In the years since, the band has gone through various hiatuses and personnel changes, most prominently the departure of Peter Hook in 2007.
