Peter Hook is on tour RIGHT NOW in North America with his band The Light. The group is playing ALL of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures and Closer AND are doing a opening set of New Order hits! It's kind of a big show. Because Hooky and crew are tearing it up stateside, Punknews' John Gentile spoke to the famed bassist about the tour, Joy Division, conflict in New Order, his session with Gwen Stefani, the death of physical media, and more! You can check it out below.

<p>We were going to make a joke about how it feels like a decade has passed since Peter Farrelly’s Green Book won Best Picture over Roma and a bunch of other good options (we’re, of course, excluding Bohemian Rhapsody from that qualifier), but enough crazy shit has gone down in the past few years that it might as well have been that long. But his new project, The Greatest Beer Run Ever, which stars Zac Efron and Russell Crowe, seems […]</p>

On August 16, a mural in Manchester of Ian Curtis of Joy Division was painted over to make way for an advertisment for the new album from rapper Aitch. Akse P19, the artist who created the mural took to Instagram to say, So my mural of Ian Curtis based on the original photograph by @philippecarly has been painted over to promote the release of a new album, personally I don’t have anything against hand-painted advertising as this is how I make a living, but this mural… had become a cultural landmark and meant so much to people from Manchester and beyond; it doesn’t take much common sense to understand that this mural should have remained for what it represented and stood for.Aitch took to social media to comment and apologize for this act saying, It’s come to light that the iconic Ian Curtis mural on Port Street has been painted over with my album artwork. This is the first time I’ve heard of this, me and my team are getting this fixed pronto. No way on earth would I want to disrespect a local hero like Ian.Peter Hook took to Twitter to comment on Aitch's statement writing, "Thank you @OfficialAitch great gesture [thumbs up emoji]". The mural is currently "getting fixed as we speak" according to a tweet from Aitch.

<p>There’s more to understanding the 1700s in Boston than a stroll down the Freedom Trail can explain. For decades, stories about the American Revolution have dominated that chapter of history, omitting the experiences of thousands of other Americans — namely, anyone who wasn’t a white soldier. But a new perspective is taking up residence in Somerville. The musical Come To Pass opens tonight (August 18) at The Rockwell, inviting audiences to take a closer look at colonial life for Americans […]</p>

<p>Trips to a Boston stand-up stage may be something of a rare treat from JB Smoove, but judging by the sheer amount of high-octane comedy force he’s brought to numerous on-screen performances over the years, there’s no doubt a visit from the man himself, live in the flesh, is going to be a night to remember. Making his way to Boston’s Wilbur Theatre on September 30, the comedy lifer brings his latest stand-up effort to the stage as a part […]</p>

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by the new project from ex-Man Overboard vocalist Zac Eisenstein, Zachary Ross and The Divine! The video is for their new song "Push Start (Everybody Knows)". Speaking to Punknews, Zac Eisenstein said of the song, "This song is about watching someone go through loneliness and you know damn well you could make them feel a lot better but they aren’t interested in you. They are interested in literally anyone but you. So all you can do is sit back and watch the dumpster fire and go ‘ok well I tried, have fun with…whatever it is you're doing.” The song is off Zachary Ross and The Divine's upcoming EP Rebuilding Heaven that will be out September 9 via Smartpunk Records.
