"The Crow" (1994) | Nine Inch Nails, Joy Division, James O' Barr

Mar 16, 2023

Here we go! The beginning of The Crow saga I've been working toward for a couple of years. I had big plans to cover more bands from the soundtrack, but after learning what I learned about O'Barr and Reznor's mutual love for Joy Division, I decided to take this route. Please enjoy hearing about:

Trent Reznor's Cleveland cover band years, becoming a roadie for The Revolting Cocks and making Pretty Hate Machine for TVT Records
James O'Barr's early life, tragic loss of his fiancee, joining up with the Marines, creating and publishing The Crow
Joy Division's origin story in Manchester, starting with the early Sex Pistols gigs they all went to and how they snagged Ian Curtis, and developed their early sound
