Hüsker DüLand Speed Record

Seventeen songs in twenty-six minutes with no pauses, one continuous blast of distorted guitar, thudding bass, and screamed vocals that barely lets you breathe. Cut live at Minneapolis's 7th Street Entry in 1981 on a $300 budget, it's faster and uglier than anything their peers were attempting, a wall of noise that just keeps coming. Bears no resemblance to the melodic post-hardcore the band would later invent. Pure adrenaline. Brace yourself and hit play.
