What band did the remaining members of Joy Division form?
New Order
The New Joy
Division Bell
Blue Monday
Answer
The answer is New Order. When Ian Curtis, lead vocalist of the post-punk band Joy Division, died in 1980, the remaining members decided to continue making music together, forming a new band called New Order. They adopted a more electronic and experimental sound compared to Joy Division's dark and brooding post-punk style, ultimately shaping the landscape of electronic and dance music for years to come.
