This week we discuss Hüsker Dü from Minneapolis, MN. Yet another band who influenced countless other, more successful bands. Hüsker Dü’s evolution is profound—they started as lightning-speed hardcore punk, ventured into noisy psychedelia, then finally settled on poppy indie rock. They’re good, go listen.

Closing track: “Chartered Trips” from Zen Arcade (1984)
