“When you balance it against New Order, New Order don't work or tour relentlessly. We definitely work in our own way and sometimes it's a bit too slow for me, so I like to plan ahead and fill my time up.”

English musician

Peter Hook is an English musician, known as the former bassist and co-founder of Joy Division and its successor, New Order. He became closely associated with a distinctive bass style, often treating the instrument as a lead voice rather than only a rhythm part. In particular, he played melodic lines on the higher strings and used a heavy chorus effect that helped define the sound of both bands.
