Joy Division were described as " gothic" by their management in 1979, comparing them with the pop music of the day, and are thought to be precursors of the Goth genre. Despite the fact that Joy Division did not dress in what would today be considered a Goth style, this genre was nascent in the period of Joy Division's career, and had not at that point become so closely associated with any image. Other than the gothic descrpition, the band and its highly original sound were categorized alongside numerous other bands of eclectic styles under the umbrella of post punk and new wave.
The name Joy Division is a reference to the groups of women in Nazi concentration camps who were used as prostitutes, as described in Ka-Tzetnik 135633's 1955 book The House of Dolls.
Because of this and other issues, such as Bernard Sumner's adoption of the surname Albrecht, their previously being known as WarsawWarsaw ( Polish: see also other names in full The Capital City of Warsaw Polish: Miasto Stoleczne Warszawa is the capital of Poland and its largest city. It is located on the Vistula river roughly 350 km from both the Baltic Sea coast and the Carpathian M and, later, New Order's choice of name (another reflection of Nazi German history), the band were dogged by accusations of neo-Nazism, which they strenuously denied.
Inspired by a Sex PistolsDespite their short existence, the Sex Pistols were perhaps the quintessential British punk rock band. Whilst The Clash were both more articulate and politically motivated, and The Buzzcocks had more astute pop sensibilities, no other group better exempli gig at the Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall on July 20July 20 is the 201st day (202nd in leap years) of the year in the Gregorian Calendar, with 164 days remaining.

After the May 1980 suicide of Joy Division's vocalist Ian Curtis, Sumner and remaining bandmates Peter Hook and Stephen Morris changed name to (also listed on labels as "Bernard Dicken", "Bernard Albrecht" and "Bernard Albrecht-Dicken") and bassist Peter Hook formed a band with friend Terry Mason , who attempted to play drums but didn't last long in the band.
They placed an advertisement in a Manchester record store, and recruited singer Ian Curtis, who also attended the Sex Pistols gig with his wife Deborah and already knew Bernard, Peter, and Terry from previous gigs.
Though not much of a punk drummer, Tony Tabac joined the group in early 1977. They began practicing on a regular basis but did not have a name. Just before their first gig (Electric Circus May 29th 1977), supporting The Buzzcocks and Penetration, the band decided on the name Warsaw, though they had already appeared on the bill as the Stiff Kittens , a name suggested by Pete Shelly of the Buzzcocks and Richard Boon. After this gig, they immediately dropped it in favor of Warsaw.
Five weeks and half a dozen gigs later, Tony Tabac was replaced by punk drummer Steve Brotherdale from another band called Panik. They recorded The Warsaw Demo on July 18th 1977, consisting of five crude punk songs.
After the demo, Brotherdale was fired after being asked to fix a flat tire while on the motorway; the remaining band members drove off without him. Brotherdale tried to get Ian Curtis to join Panik but Curtis refused. Stephen Morris, who responded to an ad in a music store window, was hired as a replacement. Unlike the previous drummers, Morris clicked well with the other three. His metronome-like drumming owed more to krautrock than the aggressive bombast typical of many punk drummers. In late 1977, Warsaw renamed themselves Joy Division to avoid confusion with London punk band Warsaw Pakt . It was also around this time that their music began to mature. Sessions recorded in December of 1977 sound considerably different than The Warsaw Demo .
