The Smashing Pumpkins‘ Billy Corgan has appeared on a podcast that charts the history of New Order, where he explains why the band’s “alien quality” landed with Generation X in the US.In the latest episode of Transmissions: The Definitive Story of Joy Division & New Order, released yesterday (September 19), host Maxine Peake focused on how the band’s first-ever US tour in 1980 came to be.
