BOB MOULD 'BLUE HEARTS' LP

The legendary Bob Mould (Husker Du, Sugar) has been on a roll since forming his current trio with bassist Jason Narducy (Split Single) and drummer Jon Wurster (Superchunk), and his fifth record with them is the most fired-up punk record he's released in decades. The songs are shorter and faster, and the words are angrier and more political. "I'm not going to sit quietly this time and worry about alienating anyone," he says.
