Bernard Sumner pioneered the post-punk movement when he broke onto the scene as a founding member of Joy Division; and later as the front man of New Order. Heavily influencing U2 and The Cure while paving the way for post-punk revivalists like Interpol; Sumners has left an indelible mark on punk and rock music that endures to this day.Famously reluctant to speak out; for the first time Sumner tell his story; a vivid and illuminating account of his childhood in Manchester; the early days of Joy Division; and the bands subsequent critical and popular successes. Sumner recounts Ian Curtis tragic death on the eve of the bands first American tour; the formation of breakout band New Order; and his own first-hand account of the ecstasy and the agony of the 1970s Manchester music scene.Witty; fascinating and surprisingly moving; Chapter and Verse is an account of insights and spectacular personal revelations; including an appendix containing a complete transcript of a recording made of Ian Curtis experiencing hypnotic regression under the Sumners amateur guidance and tensions between himself and former band member Peter Hook.
