Found in: Concerts, NewsRhino readies Joy Division reissues
It seems odd to place a timestamp on Joy Division - for us younger indie fans, the group's music and influence have seemed ever-present. But it really has been 30 years since the legendary post-punk band formed, and we probably should have expected that - at some anniversary along the road - the entire Joy Division catalog would be repackaged, revamped and reexamined.

Next week (Oct. 30), Rhino Records will reissue the twin albums that built the towering myth of Joy Division and doomed singer Ian Curtis: Unknown Pleasures (1979) and Closer (1980). Also up for... read more
