New Order has been involved in the city�s close-knit music scene for over twenty-five years and has never felt the urge to leave.
�I'm not quite sure why there's so many good groups that come from Manchester, but there does seem to be a big musical heritage here�, Sumner said.
�The other night, [former Stone Roses singer] Ian Brown was having a party just a few blocks away from us and we went out to see him�, said Sumner. �I sang on one of the Doves records, and Jimmy Goodwin, (Doves front man) played on some stuff that I did with Johnny Marr, who still lives here.�
Bernard then spoke of the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester. �When we started out in Joy Division, we got loads of gigs in Liverpool�, Bernard said. �We probably played more there than we did in Manchester. But, yeah, between Liverpool and Manchester there's this competition. But I'm very anti this competition. I think it's a load of bollocks,� he added.
New Order just released a new album entitled �Waiting for the Siren�s Call�, their first studio effort since 2001�s �Get Ready�. The band is set to go out onto the road and is scheduled to be a co-headliner at this years Coachella festival.
