Biography

The New Order
Effective period / Period of releases: 1981
Members: William Bennett, Peter McGhee
The New Order was a one-off release mostly consisting of a field recording. The name was most likely chosen to protest the pop group New Order using that name (it was originally the name of a post-Stooges group) and to cause confusion. Likewise, William Bennett added extra names to the cover. Genesis P-Orridge was certainly not involved, and was very mad about the release - making it a point to visit shops and destroy the covers. It is stated in the Come Organisation anthology's accompanying book that Steven Stapleton was also not involved in the release.
