THE REVIEW

Hüsker Dü were one of the fundamental bands of the American underground scene of the '80s. Many don't know them and don't realize what they've missed. Warehouse: Songs and Stories is an outstanding album that captivates you from the very first track.

The sound is fresh, fast, energetic. What leaves you speechless is how much emotion these tracks convey, born from a never-dormant punk attitude and a rare pop sensibility. A cornerstone for what would become emocore.

The lyrics talk about everyday life and blend magically with the trio from Minneapolis's sound, which is as simple as it is engaging, with this their final (unfortunately) unsurpassable work, they have released one of the best albums of the '80s. UNMISSABLE.

Hüsker Dü

Hüsker Dü were an American rock band from Minnesota, best known as a Minneapolis trio (Bob Mould, Grant Hart, Greg Norton) who helped expand 1980s hardcore punk into melodic, emotionally charged alternative and indie rock. Their run from the early 1980s to 1988 is frequently cited as hugely influential, with Zen Arcade often treated as a landmark release.

 They can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

 The 'guitar-bass-drums' sound of our trio has few equals in terms of power and fullness.

 I think of my 28 years and feel it’s necessary to honor a work that turns 30.

 I’m talking about life, mine, yours, and everyone’s. Familiar words, situations we may have all experienced more or less similarly.
