New Order — Singles

Though it treads over much of the same territory found on their 1994 best-of collection, this compilation of New Order singles actually does a better job at tracking the band's storied history. Beginning with early singles like "Ceremony" and "Everything's Gone Green," the record demonstrates how the bridge was built between...

New Order — Waiting For The Sirens Call

Given the resurgence of dancefloor-ready rock on mainstream pop charts, one might have expected New Order to return to the formula they perfected in the ‘80s. Instead, the band’s first record in four years proves that they’ve been there, done that and don’t need to go back. Waiting For The Siren’s Call is a further progression into the smooth pop...

Don't Look Back (In Anger): Arcade Fire And Radiohead Do New Order

Yesterday I took a look at my favourite New Order song "Age Of Consent". Today we feature Arcade Fire's version. This was recorded at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam back in 1997. A so so version as the power of the original is gone. Doesn't help the quality of the recording is subpar. And to finish this Joy...

Don't Look Back (In Anger): "Age Of Consent" By New Order

The early 1980s were a time of great change for me and for music in general. Punk had given way to new wave, which was being overrun by synthesizers and crazy hairdos and clothing. Remember Flock Of Seagulls or Culture Club? Being a fan of guitar-based music, I had a hard time coming to a grips with this. But there was a band that was able to...

Bad Lieutenant — "Sink Or Swim"

Here's the video for Bad Lieutenant's "Sink Or Swim," the first single from the band's upcoming Never Cry Another Tear debut album. Bad Lieutenant features New Order frontman Bernard Sumner and drummer Stephen Morris. The track is a lot more poppy than anything they've released to date with either Joy Divison or New Order.
