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

A seven-song EP bristling with energy and pummeling guitars, Metal Circus
is the first indication of Hüsker Dü's greatness. With these seven songs,
the band shows more invention, skill, and melody than it did over the course
of a full album with Everything Falls Apart, and both Bob Mould and
Grant Hart emerge as significant songwriters. While they both stay
within hardcore conventions on Metal Circus, their songs illustrate that t
hey would break free of its constrictions on their subsequent,
masterful double album, Zen Arcade...(AllMusic)
