Peter Hook

Peter Hook is an English musician. He was the bassist and co-founder of the post-punk band Joy Division and its successor New Order. He often used the bass as a lead instrument, playing melodies on the high strings with a signature heavy chorus effect. In New Order, he would do this, leaving the actual bass lines to keyboards or sequencers. Along with Bernard Sumner, Hook formed the band which was to become Joy Division in 1976.
