What are some bands/artists that sound like Joy Division as far as style and music go?

27.February, 2010

I really like Joy Division a lot, and am looking for some other bands - current or otherwise - that have a similar sound to their music. I found something somewhere about a band called "Editors" that is supposed to sound similar, am wondering if anyone has any opinions about that, or any other suggestions?

Thanks!
M.T. - it’s funny you mentioned "She Wants Revenge" - I actually bought their first CD and loved it, and that’s what got me into Joy Division! I did it a little backwards, but it’s cool "discovering" a band that was playing 30 years ago! She Wants Revenge is awesome. I will check out those other ones too -thanks!

I would recommend the above artists as well but I think you should check out websites like www.jango.com. With Jango you can stream music online - you type in the artist of choice and it finds similar artists to what you typed in. Another website i like to use to find new artists is www.spinner.com - I click on the MP3 of the day and just go crazy with my downloading. Some of the artists I like, others not so much however it’s a great way to find new music as most of the artists are not big names.
Anyway, I hope that helps! Good luck :)

    Check out this guy named Roy Patterson. He’s like this one man indie dude from Edmonton. Not nearly as famous as he should be.
