Grant Hart returns with a double album, The Argument, based on John Milton's epic Paradise Lost on July 23rd. Stream the first single, "Is The Sky The Limit?" below:
Ahead of the album's release Hart was interviewed by The Fly. As always, Hart had a lot of interesting things to say. He re-affirmed there won't be a Hüsker Dü reunion***:
"First off, it would be a move motivated only by the wrong reasons. I’m afraid it would overshadow the good work we’re doing without that band’s name."
He also said part of the reason Hüsker Dü broke up was because Bob Mould's affinity for R.E.M.'s sound:
"they had such an influence on what Bob was trying to write after that."
Hart called Dave Grohl "a piece of shit" and though he didn't expound too much on that, he seemed to have an issue with Grohl's business practices. Read The Fly's interview with Grant Hart here.
