“Had Joy Division continued, we would have gone in more of a Radiohead direction,” says drummer

Joy Division drummer Stephen Morris has told NME that he imagines that the band would have gone on to sound like Radiohead, were it not for the death of frontman Ian Curtis.The surviving members of Joy Division went on to form New Order following Ian Curtis taking his own life in 1980. Morris was speaking to NME about New Order’s classic second album ‘Power, Corruption & Lies’, when asked if the more colourful and dancier direction of the record was one that Joy Division might have eventually taken if the band had continued.“We were into Kraftwerk and general electronic music,” Morris told NME.
