Peter Hook has branded the track at the centre of a recenthoax as "bloody awful".The internet has notorious fact-checking issues. In the rush to be first to any given story, some bloggers through caution to the wind and report things that aren't perhaps 100% accurate.Want an example? Recently, a track named 'Aerial' appeared online which purported to be a lost Joy Division cut from the 'Unknown Pleasures'. Listen to it below.Now Peter Hook has given his opinion on the hoax. The genial bass player told the NME : "I've heard it. It's a hoax and it's bloody awful. They're quite clever, these guys, they sound like college kids to me, they've captured the atmosphere quite well, but it's a hoax. If Ian Curtis ever sang lyrics like that, I'd have kicked him up the arse."Continuing, Peter Hook explained that he believes the Joy Division vaults have been picked clean. "Everytime you hear about tapes being discovered, you think there maybe more songs, but I think I can safely say that there isn’t anything more to do with Joy Division to come out. There's not much left over, when you're young, you don't think for tomorrow".However the bass player did drop a bombshell of sorts: an alternate version of 'Closer' exists, although there are no plans to release the material. "I've got a tape that's recently come into my possession, which is outtakes from 'Closer'. It's interesting because the songs are quite different, we changed the songs quite a bit in the studio and the songs are very different. I'm not planning to do anything with it at the moment."Looking ahead, Peter Hook's The Light are planning to perform Joy Division's 'Still' collection in its entirety. The band will hit Manchester on May 18th and 19th, performing in the FAC 251 venue - charities Mind and Forever Manchester will both receive some of the proceeds from the shows.Peter Hook's The Light are set to play the following shows:18FAC 25119FAC 251
