Members of New Order have formed a new band, but ex-bassist Peter Hook isn't included.
The group, which features Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Phil Cunningham, are named Bad Lieutenant and Alex James of Blur completes the line-up, performing bass for the collective.
Bad Lieutenant have already recorded their debut album, set for an October release.
"I'm very proud of it, it's a very good album," Bernard Sumner told the BBC. "It's pretty guitary too because we've got three guitarists in the band."
Sumner also (briefly) mentioned the departure of New Order bassist Peter Hook, who quit the band last year.
"We split into two factions, there's me Steve and Phil," Sumner says. "The other is Peter Hook. Basically he left the band, that's all I want to say about it."
