New Order

New Order are an English electronic band that emerged from the post-punk scene in Manchester during the early 1980s, evolving into pioneers of dance and synth-pop. Their influential blend of angular guitars, synthesizers, and programmed rhythms defined much of the electronic music landscape across subsequent decades.
