Husker Du

Covered by Husker Du and praised by Maximumrocknroll, CMJ, Matt Pinfield and others in the '80s, TMA never got the recognition they deserved, but they may change with this expansive new reissue...

Across 24 CDs, 'Distortion: 1989 - 2019' includes 18 studio albums, four live albums, and two albums of rarities and collaborations making for 295 tracks of Bob Mould in total. There's a vinyl box too, featuring Bob's first two solo albums and all of Sugar's output.

Like grunge, the '90s pop punk boom was the culmination of a sound that had been bubbling up for over a decade. For this edition of his edition of 'In Defense of the Genre,' I look back on 15 classic '80s albums that shaped that sound...

Bob's new album Blue Hearts is out September 25.

The black metal cover of Husker Du's ”The Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill” is a major highlight.

Bob calls Blue Hearts “the catchiest batch of protest songs I’ve ever written in one sitting.”

Inter Arma's just-announced covers album will also feature renditions of songs by Husker Du, Nine Inch Nails, Prince, Tom Petty, and more...

This edition of In Defense of the Genre looks at 20 bands from the mainstream pop punk era paying tribute to the comparatively underground legends who influenced them, through the lens of cover songs that still sound great today.

Today's picks for amazing live videos to watch while there are no actual shows to attend include R.E.M. in 1984, Hüsker Dü in 1985, Sex Pistols' final show in 1978, and more.

From Danny Brown to YOB to Willie Nelson to Type O Negative to Neil Young to Nine Inch Nails to Husker Du to Prince, what *doesn't* this playlist have?
