Substance: Inside New Order by Peter Hook
The iconic bass player tells the third, arguably the most important and certainly most controversial part of his story: the New Order years
‘Rock writing rarely tells us properly what a band treading water or in slow decline feels like from the insideHook does so memorably.’ * Guardian *
‘The 768 pages will delight both New Order-ites and general rock readers, revealing the astonishing human bathos behind this group's godly future-rock […] The way Joy Division and New Order combined high art with base behaviour is well established but this book rides that tandem to new dimensions […] but there's much more than carnage’ * Mojo *
‘Set against a lurid backdrop of orgiastic tours, awash with drink, drugs, and a debauched retinue of dealers, hookers and mad roadies, Hook drawing from a seemingly bottomless well of outrageous anecdotes, many of them hilarious and told with the same droll voice that delighted readers of The Haçienda: How Not to Run a Club’ * Uncut *
‘Epic rock tale of sex, drugs and jealousy […] A must for fans, it's wildly funny and revelatory' * The Sun *
