New Order | Age of Consent (1983)

"Age of Consent" is a song by New Order. It appears on their 1983 album Power, Corruption & Lies. A Howie B remix was produced in 1995 for (the rest of) New Order compilation album.

The song has been played 208 times in concert by the band, making its live debut in 1982. It returned to live performances in 2011, following a 22-year absence from setlists, having last been played live in 1989.


It was revealed during a Twitter listening party in 2020, that Stephen Morris's drums recorded for the song were recycled from the Hannett version of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" with slight subtle alterations.
