After finding fame in both Joy Division and New Order, Bernard Sumner returns with a new band, named after Harvey Keitel’s most controversial film.
The frontman is joined by fellow vocalist Jake Evans for the project, which sees them sharing lead vocal duties. The result is a combination of classic New Order sounds and more modern English mood-rock, most notably that of fellow Northerners Doves. Contributors to the band’s debut album, Never Cry Another Tear, also include New Order’s Stephen Morris and Blur’s Alex James.

Let's not forget Sumner's brief collaboration with Johnny Marr.
It was called Electronic.
decent song – kill the guy who got paid to make that "video".
I had a chance to listen to this cd and it is very good. If you like great guitar playing, synths and great melodies you will love this. There is not one bad song on this album, from start to finish this cd rocks, with great New Order style moments in it. Bernard Sumner is a musical genius who has worked with New Order, Electronic and Joy division. If you like this cd Please give New order and Electronic a listen and you will love it, also listen to the first Album By a band called MONACO called Music for Pleasure which is also very good (New Order side project). It is very sad that New Order broke up, let's hope they patch up their differences and make another album. Give the Bad Lieutenant a chance and you will love it.
