Biography

Punk/hardcore trio who were formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, in January 1979. Hüsker Dü (which means "Do you remember" in Danish and Norwegian, but is actually spelt without diaereses) mixed pop and punk music and consisted of guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, bassist Greg Norton and drummer/vocalist Grant Hart. They started out as a punk band before gravitating toward hardcore, then expanding into more melodic songs. After releasing seven albums, Hüsker Dü split in January 1988 due to the growing tensions between Mould and Hart (the two main songwriters in the band), Hart's alcohol and drug problems, and the suicide of the band's manager, David Savoy Jr. Mould went on to form [a=Sugar (5)], whilst Hart formed [a=Nova Mob] with both of them disbanding their respective groups in the mid-'90s and going on to only produce for their solo projects. Norton stepped away the music business for a number of years to become a restaurant owner but returned to performing again in the 2000s. Grant Hart died of cancer on September 14th 2017.

LYRICS

It's a one-horse town
One big desert
Asphalt desert
Asphalt jungle
Beyond the threshold, beyond the threshold

Change for the worse
Change nonetheless
Hey hey hey
Got no place to stay

I hear machines
They burst at the seams
But tar and feather
All stick together

Greetings from home
I wish you were here
Hear what I say but
You can't hear me at all
