Hüsker Dü

Now it is time for some hardcore from one of my favourite eighties bands, once again I came across them through the late great John Peel and was blown away by their energy and also their lyrics.

They never achieved the success that their consistent body of work deserved but there can be little doubt that they influenced/inspired a number of bands who came after them.

First up is Could You Be The One (from their last release the double album Warehouse Songs and Stories) and that is followed by Makes No Sense At All.

Also own a few Bob Mould solo albums but that will make for another post at some future point.

Heard of them, never heard them. That mustache is killer! A bit much, but he carries it well.

I know Husker Du was really popular with the college crowd (still might be) back in the day.

CYBTO was always my favorite song by them. I always liked Bob Mould, liked his solo stuff and Sugar.
