HÜSKER DÜ
GRANT HART, GREG NORTON, BOB MOULD
Influential Minneapolis punk trio that deftly juggled the screaming self-examination
of Bob Mould with the biting pop-romanticism of Grant Hart.
Hüsker Dü and R.E.M. were the two American post-punk bands of the '80s
that changed the direction of rock & roll. R.E.M. became a superstar band;
Hüsker Dü never was more than a cult favorite. Nevertheless, their albums between
1981 and 1987 have proven remarkably influential; they provided the sonic blueprint
for the roaring punk-pop hybrid that crossed over into the mainstream in the early '90s

For New Day Rising, the follow-up to their breakthrough double-album Zen Arcade,
Hüsker Dü replaced concept with conciseness, concentrating on individual songs delivered
as scalding post-hardcore pop. New Day Rising is not only a more vicious and relentless
record than Zen Arcade, it's more melodic. Occasionally, the razor-thin production and
waves of noise mean that it takes a little bit of effort to pick out the melodies, but more
often the furious noise and melodies fuse together to create an overwhelming sonic force.
It's possible to hear the rivalry between Mould and Hart on the album itself -- each song
is like a game of one-upmanship, as Mould responds to "The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill"
with "Celebrated Summer." Neither songwriter slips -- both turn in songs that are catchy,
clever, and alternately wracked with pain or teeming with humor. New Day Rising is a positively
cathartic record and ranks as Hüsker Dü's most sustained moment of pure power...(AllMusic)
