Hüsker Dü was an American rock band formed in Saint Paul, Minnesota in 1979. The band's continual members were guitarist[img]file:///C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\[LC3U)F{0XCAB)[email protected][/img]ocalist Bob Mould, bassist Greg Norton, and drummer[img]file:///C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\[LC3U)F{0XCAB)[email protected][/img]ocalist Grant Hart.
Hüsker Dü first gained notability as a hardcore punk band, later crossing over into alternative rock. Mould and Hart split the songwriting and singing duties.
Following an EP and three LPs on independent label SST Records, including the critically acclaimed Zen Arcade (1984), the band signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1986 to release their final two studio albums.
Mould released two solo albums before forming Sugar in the early 1990s, while Hart released a solo album on SST and later formed Nova Mob. Norton was initially less active musically after Hüsker Dü's demise and focused on being a restaurateur instead. He returned to the recording industry in 2006.
