HÜSKER DÜ.
Not much I need to say about these guys.
I will say that this record came out in 1981, I bought it as a young skate-rat in 1983, and played the fuck out of it for years to come.
Still do.
I like the black-and-white cover as I feel it goes right along with the music. It's easy to say this could be one of the very first true hardcore records.
I really liked these guys alot, even remember seeing them on the early-morning "Today Show" on TV one day before going to school.
Hated everything about these dudes musically and whatnot after New Day Rising came out.
This is a record any fan of hardcore - and shitty demo-tape sound quality - should enjoy, or at least check out.
D/L Hüsker Dü - Land Speed Record right here.
Now playing: Irate Architect - Seduction

Jumped all over this one J. I read it mentioned somewhere and had just chalked up my memory of it as lost. Thanx for bring back this great moment in hardcore history.
ReplyDeleteyes indeed a classic
ReplyDeleteYeah post "New Day Rising" era stuff totally lost its teeth and meaning to me. I always liked the first singles and this LP the best though. It has such raw intensity that I only could match it up with them playing in an old Flipside video I had years ago.
