Grant Hart
Encyclopedia
Grant Hart is an American
musician
, best known as the drummer
and co-songwriter
for the influential alternative rock
and hardcore punk
band Hüsker Dü
. After the band's breakup in 1987, Hart formed the alternative rock trio Nova Mob, where he moved to vocals and guitar. Hart's solo career became his main focus after the dissolution of Nova Mob in 1997.
As the co-songwriter of Hüsker Dü, Hart's songs (such as "The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill" and "Turn On The News") received praise from critics and contemporaries. Hart's vocal style, in contrast to that of Hüsker Dü-bandmate Bob Mould
, was a more measured and melodical delivery. His choice of lyrical themes, which included teenage alienation in "Standing By The Sea" and the depiction of a murder in "Diane," helped to expand the subject matter of hardcore punk.
al family [...] Not very abusive
, though. Nothing really to complain about." When Hart was 10, his older brother was killed by a drunk driver. Hart inherited his brother's drum set and records; he soon began playing in a number of makeshift bands as a teenager. At the time, Hart had little interest in contemporary rock music
. Instead, he preferred to listen to film soundtracks and bought cheap compilations of hit songs from the 1950s and 1960s.
Hart met Bob Mould
while working at a record store. Mould, then a college freshman, would buy marijuana from Hart. At first Hart dismissed Mould as "an upstater pretending to be a Manhattan
ite," but the two soon became friends.
. The band's early material had them lumped in with the hardcore movement of the early 1980s. The bandmembers received help from their parents in their early days. In Hart's case, his mother let him use the copier machine at the credit union where she worked to make show flyers, and the band added $2,000 to an existing loan at the credit union to release the band's first single, "Statues," on their own label Reflex Records in 1981. Success existed on a small scale for the band; by 1982 Hart was unemployed and relied on support from friends and family.
Hüsker Dü's music became more accomplished and melodic over time. By late 1982, Hart's drumming "rushed the music along more precisely than ever" and he and Mould, who traded vocal duties, were singing more tunefully. While Mould was the band's primary songwriter, Hart began writing more songs. Hart wrote two songs for 1983's Metal Circus
EP
, the "perversely sing-along" "Diane" and the "impassioned speed-pop gem" "It's Not Funny Anymore." Hüsker Dü's more melodic take on hardcore struck a chord with college students, and various tracks from Metal Circus, particularly Hart's "Diane," were put into rotation by dozens of campus radio
stations across the US. Hart was tagged by observers as the "hippie
" of the group due to his long hair and his propensity to drum with bare feet; biographer Michael Azerrad
additionally noted that "the wide-eyed sincerity of his songs was far more San Francisco '67 than New York
'77," which contrasted with Mould's "incisively bitter" songs.
As Hart and Mould developed as musicians and songwriters, an unspoken tension and competition arose in the band between them. Tensions were heightened when Mould demanded that starting with 1984's Zen Arcade
that the band's records contain individual songwriter credits. In spite of the creative tensions, Hüsker Dü garnered critical acclaim with the release of Zen Arcade and subsequent albums. Michael Azerrad stated that by 1985's Flip Your Wig
"the two songwriters were trying their level best to outdo each other, and with spectacular results" Hüsker Dü had left the hardcore genre behind, which caused some discomfort with their label at the time, SST Records
. In one interview, Hart hinted that SST thought Hüsker Dü were "soft" because they stayed in motels while touring and occasionally wrote happy songs. Hart elaborated, "We don't have to convince the world that we're suffering to convince them that we're artists... There's nothing wrong with being happy."
In 1986 Hüsker Dü became the first key band from the American indie scene to sign with a major label, inking a deal with Warner Bros. Records
. However, tensions within the band worsened after signing with Warner Bros. Hart became addicted to heroin following the band's tour behind their major label debut Candy Apple Grey
in 1986, with Hart also being incorrectly diagnosed as HIV
-positive in the middle of that year. Mould and Hart were feuding openly about Hart's drug use and creative conflicts, with Hart accusing Mould of ensuring he could not have more than 45 percent of the songs on each of the band's albums.
The band dissolved after a show in Columbia, Missouri
in support of the band's 1987 double album Warehouse: Songs and Stories
. Hart was trying to quit heroin using a supply of methadone
, but the bottle had leaked. Hart played the show, but Mould and Norton were concerned Hart would soon be suffering from withdrawal and thus would be unable to play the next few shows. While Hart insisted he could perform, Mould had already canceled the dates. Hart quit the band four days later. Hart has said his drug use was not the reason for the band's demise, rather, it was the tensions between the band members. Hart said, "It just became that it was easier to be around Bob if you were playing a part of Bob's game," and also said he felt Mould's songs had become increasingly "square."
Mould claims the band officially was called quits after a band meeting at Hart's parents house where Grant's mom claimed that it would be better for Grant if Husker Du only performed on "weekends"
Though it was often rumored during his Hüsker Dü days that he and bandmate Mould were an item (both are openly gay
, and both acknowledge taking partners on tour), both have flatly denied ever having been romantically involved.

would later cover the title song, as would the Go-Betweens
' Robert Forster
. After the release of the EP, Hart went further into sobriety, recording and releasing the album "Intolerance
" and the associated EP "All of My Senses
" in 1989 and 1990, respectively.
In late 1989, he formed a new band, Nova Mob, with Michael Crego on drums, Tom Merkl on bass, and Hart himself taking guitar
duties. The band took their name from a the book Nova Express
by William Burroughs; it had previously been used by an unrecorded group featuring the young Julian Cope
and Pete Wylie
. The band released their first EP Admiral of the Sea and album "The Last Days of Pompeii" in 1991. The lineup later changed with Marc Retish and then Steve Sutherland on drums, and Chris Hesler on lead guitar. The band routinely toured Europe to warm reception. Nova Mob released two full-length recordings, one EP and a handful of singles. They disbanded after the last record and a final tour.
, in 1996, and Good News for Modern Man
, offered in late 1999. In 2005 Hart and Mould reunited at the benefit concert
for Karl Mueller
, the bassist for fellow Minneapolis stalwarts, Soul Asylum
, who was then fighting what would turn out to be a losing battle with cancer
. Hart recorded his most recent solo release, Hot Wax
in Montreal and Minneapolis, MN. Hart told Britain
's Q
in September 2006, "I'm working on some stuff with the Godspeed You! Black Emperor
people. They've given more of themselves in a few weeks than Bob did in nine years with Hüsker Dü." In 2008, he was one of the guest singers on Lotuk, the third album of Arsenal, a Belgian band combining roots and dance music.
As of summer 2008, the brand new track Schoolbuses are for children can be found on the Grant Hart Myspace site. Grant's new album, Hot Wax
was released October 6, 2009, his first solo album in a decade. Intolerance
was reissued on February 9, 2010 on 180-gram vinyl, and The Last Days of Pompeii was reissued with extra tracks on December 7, 2010. Grant is currently working on a new album based on John Milton's Paradise Lost
