On the strength of albums like Zen Arcade, New Day Rising, and Candy Apple Grey, Hüsker Dü were a punk rock fireball destined for greatness. But bassist Greg Norton says: “The breakup of the band was most likely inevitable.” He adds of their 1988 split: “How quickly it all ended was a shock. I think we could have made a statement with another record or two.”
It wasn’t to be. Norton formed Grey Area before leaving the music business in 1991. He returned a decade later, and since 2022 he’s been with Ultrabomb. The band have new music is on the way, and Norton has a new signature bass with Reverend.
