Bob Mould
Guitarist/singer/songwriter Bob Mould was initially a member of Hüsker Dü, one of the most influential American bands of the ’80s. Hüsker Dü was a post-hardcore punk band that helped define the sound and ideals of alternative rock. After Hüsker Dü broke up, Mould signed a solo contract with Virgin Records in 1988. The following year, he released his first solo album, Workbook, which represented a major shift in sonic direction. Workbook was an introspective collection, featuring keyboards, acoustic guitars, and even strings. The album received excellent reviews and spent 14 weeks on the charts, peaking at 127; “See a Little Light” became a Top Ten modern rock hit. Mould returned to loud, guitar-driven rock on his second solo album, 1990’s Black Sheets of Rain. Featuring the Top Ten modern rock hit “It’s Too Late,” Black Sheets of Rain received mixed reviews.
Fury Things
Fury Things are a trio from Minneapolis, Minnesota, made up of guitarist/vocalist Kyle Werstein, bassist Devon Bryant, and drummer Andrew Carson. Werstein writes compelling lyrics and shreds fuzzy guitar solos while sharing the melody with Bryants bass. Carson slams on cymbals higher than his head and has broken too many drumsticks to count. Together theyre making fast, loud rock music reminiscent of Superchunk, Dinosaur Jr. and fellow-Minneapolitans Hüsker Dü. Since forming in August of 2012, they released two EPs to local and national critical praise, recorded an upcoming 7″ single, toured Canada and the United States, and opened for noteworthy bands like Yuck and The Men. Their release EP2 landed them on numerous year-end lists, including City Pages prestigious Picked to Click Poll. Their relentless, energetic live reputation caught the attention of famous nightclub First Avenue, who named them one of the Best New Bands of 2013.
