Ian Youngs of BBC News described them as, "The band that inspired deeper devotion than any British group since the Beatles." All four of the band's albums are included on Rolling Stone's '500 Greatest Albums Of All Time' list. Seattle's Rusholme Ruffians nail the tedious balance of songs that could make you laugh, cry, save your life, and make you dance... sometimes all at the same time. New Order famously rose from the ashes of Joy Division in 1980, however they were never content to parrot their previous act's penchant for post-punk. The fourpiece incorporated electronic, dance, and synth-pop elements, expanding their purview and had AllMusic regard the band as, "The first alternative dance" music group, having "fused icy, gloomy post-punk with Kraftwerk-style synth-pop." Also from Seattle, Love Vigilantes (who share members with Rusholme Ruffians) will ensure the audience feels all the feels while dancing into the night.
