Name of American punk band that covered "Insight" by Joy Division?

Looking for the name of the American punk band from ~2000-01 whose record contains a cover of "Insight" by Joy Division as the last track. Think they were from Philly. Put out one record before their lead singer become a mod/got addicted to smack/possibly both. Looked on allmusic but signal-to-noise ratio a bit too high so hoping maybe someone here knows what I'm talking about 'cause I'd love to have this song again. Insight's one of my faves and this cover had a much fuller guitar/drum sound than the original. Thanks!

This site has a list of "known Joy Division cover versions" and they show Meaningful Nonsense and Trouble as two bands who covered "Insight." They also list a band called Wendy Is Staring At Me as having made an unreleased version.

The Trouble. That's the one. Thanks! Small thing, but a load off my mind.
