Joy Division was a post-punkband formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. The remaining members reformed as New Orderand they have gone on to achieve much critical and commercial success. With their dark, cavernous sound and their use of synthesizers and electronics, Joy Division are considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and the early 1980s. Though they found only modest success during their career, and released only two studio albums, Joy Division have since been acclaimed as one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era; Thom Jurek writes "They left just a small bit of music and an echo that still rings".

The Kill Lyrics
Joy Division
Moved in a hired car,
And i find no way to run,
Adds every moment longer,
Had no time for fun,
Just something that i knew i had to do,
But through it all i lefy my eyes on you.
I had an impulse to clear it all away,
Oh i used the tactics, make everybody pay,
Just something that i knew i had to do,
But through it all i kept my eyes on you.
Oh, i keep it all clean,
I've paid the graces there,
No kings of misuse,
No sellers of flesh,
Just something that i knew i had to do,
But through it all i kept my eyes on you,
Yeah through it all i kept my eyes on you,
But through it all i kept my eyes on you.
