SHE WANTS REVENGE

greatest Joy Division tribute band

or

greatest Musical Prank that Works since Spinal Tap

you decide.

HA!
Can I answer both?

Oddly, I kind of like them playing in the back-ground, but as soon as I start actively listening, the gag reflex begins.

You see where I am coming with this though right?

That monotone drone for the vocals is just the tip of the iceberg.

Tracks titled "Out of Control" and "Tear you apart" can't be coincidence.

Yup, I know exactly where you are coming from, the main difference , that I see, is that She Wants Revenge lyrics seem to come straight out of teen beat magazine. Although that may be giving them too much creadit.

Oh I dunno, some my my best dates were because the lovely lass didn't close her italics.

in the corproate world is there really such a thing as coincidence?

There is a Joy Division movie in production. Maybe they hope to ride it's coattails?

Can't comment on the band, though, as I have not listened to them.

Joy Division ... movie ...

I'm going to have to reread that later. Reading that seems like looking straight into the idiot eye of Astaroth.

Well, there is already 24 Hour Party People:
http://imdb.com/title/tt0274309/

And now Control:
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0421082/
It has been "in production" for a while now, under the title "Touching From A Distance".

I really liked the way Sean Harris played Ian in 24 Hour Party People, I don't think Sam Riley will be able to pull it off. Funny enough Sam Riley was in 24 Hour Party People as Mark E Smith.
