Joy Division-Nationalist?
Here is a slightly off the wall question, considering most of the bands listed here are the usual WN Metal/Oi etc. Does anybody know about Ian Curtis's political leanings? Was he a nationalist? I know that he was a Tory but supposedly he also wrote a nationalist song that was never recorded.

I know that early on, they used a lot of Nazi imagery, and I believe the name Joy Division refers to prostitutes kept in concentration camps for the inmates. But I think they just used it for shock value; they certainly wouldn't be the first band to do so.

About bands and the National Socialist meanings of their names, for those that remember the '80s new-romantic band Spandau Ballet, their name was taken after the name the German guards of Spandau prison gave to the jerky motions the prisoners made while being hanged during the war.

I'm sure a German veteran of that time would know the facts. I think I read it in the fan magazines, which are never accurate.
