Soul Asylum
Soul Asylum's career arc has taken them from raucous punks to a multi-platinum-selling alternative acts in the '90s to elder statesmen status as they re-formed in the 2000s and continue to release albums. They started off as one of the hardest-working bands on the underground rock scene, the little-brother band of Hüsker Dü and the Replacements, known for their emphatic combination of punk energy, hard rock guitar firepower, and equally angry and heartfelt songs. 1988's Hang Time made them cult heroes and favorites with critics, but with 1992's Grave Dancers Union, they added a bit more polish, hardened their guitar attack, wrote more anthemic choruses, and became one of the biggest acts on the alternative rock scene thanks to the singles "Runaway Train" and "Black Gold." After the success of Grave Dancers Union, Soul Asylum had trouble repeating their commercial and critical achievements, and faded out at the end of the '90s. However, the death of bassist Karl Mueller in 2005 sparked their return to the studio and the stage, with the band soldiering on under the leadership of lead singer Dave Pirner and releasing albums like 2012's Delayed Reaction, 2016's Change of Fortune, and 2024's Slowly But Shirley.
