Peter Hook announced his memoir about New Order will be released this autumn. Substance: Inside New Order is Hooky's third book and promises to be quite a read for New Order fans. The 768 (!!!) page book promises to be a no-holds barred, dirt-dishing tome, focusing on the (sometimes tumultuous) history of one of the best and most important bands in alt rock. It also includes exclusive photographs and archival images from Hook's personal collection.
From the press release:
"Peter Hook has written a no-holds-barred, comprehensive account of the band's entire history, packed with outrageous anecdotes and including every set list and tour itinerary and interspersed with 'geek facts' of every piece of electronic equipment used to forge the sound that changed the direction of popular music."
The release of Substance: Inside New Order coincides with Hook's upcoming tour -- he'll perform both Joy Division's and New Order's Substance in full on the road in North America this October & November.
Substance: Inside New Order will be released in the U.K./Europe on October 6th, and in the U.S. on November 15th. Pre-order here, and view tour dates for Hook's tour below.
