Apologies to all the misanthropic synth-punks out there, but we at Viva Radio believe there is no substitute for the rhythmic and emotional charge of Joy Division. In fact, the simultaneous theatrical release of Control, Anton Corbijn’s darkly affecting film study of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, and reissue of the band’s three albums on Rhino Records nearly gave us our total sonic fix.
Yet our quest for unknown pleasures got the best of us, and we are now proud to announce the Joy Division-inspired Complete Control Radio. Starting Tues. October 23rd and continuing through the 30th, with extensive research and help from contributor and institutional pillar Dan Selzer, Viva excavates the post-punk vaults for classic and rare Joy Division / New Order / Factory Records material and brings exclusive interviews with band members and affiliates to the online arena. Check out the schedule below:
Tues. 10/23

Thurs. 10/25
