M_New-Order — Picture of the Day

Bernard Sumner

New Order always had blatant connections to militarism in some form or another—from their band name (a Khmer Rouge reference) and haircuts (jawohl!) to their former incarnation as the World War II-obsessed Joy Division.

New Order always had blatant connections to militarism in some form or another—from their band name (a Khmer Rouge reference) and haircuts (jawohl!) to their former incarnation as the World War II-obsessed Joy Division.

Mix of the Day: Jazzanova

When Berlin-based collective Jazzanova hit Gdansk, they dropped some seriously funky grooves to an appreciative crowd, and in the process probably turned more than a few on to jazz. Check them out when they hit EB Radio to expose even more audiences to their grooves!

Max Dax interviews Bernard Sumner

“There was a fascination for everything related to the war because it was all around me”: Bernard Sumner’s simple guitar lines and plaintive vocals are essential elements in New Order’s dark, romantic synth-pop—a sound that helped define Manchester’s musical identity and set Factory Records on the path to immortality. – more
