Hüsker Dü was an influential rock music group from Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, comprising guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, bass guitarist Greg Norton, and drummer/vocalist Grant Hart. Mould and Hart split the songwriting duties about evenly. Hüsker Dü was never widely popular, but had an impact much larger than their modest sales figures would indicate.

Hüsker Dü first gained notice as a hardcore punk band with thrashing tempos and screamed vocals, but also with a melodic, soulful edge that became more pronounced in the band's mid-career, as they drifted away from their early sound. They were also a striking trio on stage — far different from the typical hardcore band of the time — with Mould's hulking, doughy presence shouting angrily at stage left, offset by the generally unkempt, long-haired Hart flailing on the drums, and the lanky, good-natured Norton, who sported a waxed handlebar mustache for most of the band's career.
