Grant Hart was one of the two primary songwriters of the glorious trainwreck and profoundly influential rock unit that was Hüsker Dü and helped to shape the sound and voice of indie rock to come, influencing a generation of bands that followed including but by no means exclusive to Nirvana, Pixies, Fugazi, Throwing Muses, Afghan Whigs & The Breeders. Husker Du showed the world that power and melody did not have to be mutually exclusive and that there was a place for the confessional lyric in punk rock
After 6 albums the band he shared with Bob Mould for nearly a decade imploded and Hart went on to form Nova Mob and then put out a handful of critically acclaimed solo albums over the years, including " Hot Wax" and " Intolerance".
In April of this year, Grant released a limited edition 7" vinyl with two new songs, "Morning Star" and " So Far From Heaven", the tracks are taken from his highly anticipated new album, "The Argument", which comes out early next year.
Although music is still Grant's main stock in trade, his visual arts skills remain as sharp as ever. In addition, he has recently taken part in several readings of his poetry as well as reading the works of his late friend Charles Henri Ford at the Metropolitan Arts Club in New York. He often performs with Patti Smith and has shared the stage with such notables as Charles Plymell, Philip Glass and of course his late chum William S. Burroughs. He currently serves such diverse organizations as The Duchamp Society, The Ghost Squadron of the Confederate Air Force and The Studebaker Drivers Club of North America.
