About this album

New Day Rising is Hüsker Dü at full creative throttle, pushing hardcore into something broader, more melodic and more emotionally open. Released in 1985, the album sharpened the band’s attack without losing its urgency, and helped establish their reputation as one of the key links between punk intensity and alternative rock ambition. Built on blazing guitars, relentless rhythms and Bob Mould and Grant Hart’s dual songwriting, it balances raw force with memorable hooks on songs such as the title track, I Apologize and Celebrated Summer. Widely regarded as one of their essential records, it remains a landmark of American underground rock.
