From his pioneering early ’80s work with Hüsker Dü to the pop sparkle of Sugar to his genre-blurring solo work, Bob Mould’s decade-spanning career has been celebrated by fellow musicians and fans alike. His latest album, 2012’s Silver Age, is an intense, concise ten-song blast reminiscent of Bob’s latter-day Hüsker Dü output that careens out of the speakers with a sense of exhilaration and power. With his live band, which consists of bassist Jason Narducy (Spl:t S:ngle, Verbow) and drummer Jon Wurster (Superchunk, The Mountain Goats), Bob Mould brings to the stage the energy and musicianship that has made him so renowned among fans and the music community as a whole.
