New Order are an English rock group formed in 1980 by the remaining members of Joy Division following the suicide of singer Ian Curtis.
Rob Gretton, the band's manager for over twenty years, is credited for having found the name "New Order" in an article in The Guardian entitled "The People's New Order of Kampuchea". The band adopted this name, despite its previous use for ex-Stooge Ron Asheton's band The New Order. Yet the link with Joy Division made it hard for critics to ignore the fascistic undertones the name carried with it, the term "New Order" being featured in Hitler's Mein Kampf as "the new order of the Third Reich." The band publicly rejected any claims that the name had anything to do with fascist or Nazi sympathies.

Joy Division had a big hit with "Love Will Tear Us Apart" which was released just days after singer Ian Curtis hanged himself.

Joy Division.
(it's a little suspect that the 'Joy division' was a Nazi part of the German army which enslaved women to become prostitutes in WW11, for the 'joy' of the soldiers.
The 'New order' is what Hitler was planning when he ordered the distruction of the jewish race)
Hmmmmm. makes you think?
