New Day Rising


Sometimes with a blog post the music comes first and the picture second and sometimes the picture comes first and the music follows.When I found this picture, about to appear in a new book about women in punk from Sam Knee called Untypical Girls; Styles And Sounds Of The Transatlantic Indie Revolution, I had to post it.


New Day Rising

New Day Rising from 1984, the same year the picture was taken, is the first song on the album of the same name and is a righteous blast of fast, melodic punk rock from three men playing as if their lives depended on it.

Great picture according to a great song. Well done.

Always was, and still is, my favourite Husker Du track.

Oh love the pic and the sound of the book too, must look out for it (or perhaps drop heavy hints for Christmas).
Great song choice too, must've been one of the first I heard by them.

Fabulous in all respects.

That’s wonderful. Song ain’t too shabby either. Haven’t had a good look at the new box set yet. Probably better off not seeing it until I can afford it.

Ive been holding off the box set too Brian. Financial constraints. It's the SST albums I'd really like to see rescuing from Greg Ginn and redoing bit he refuses to sell apparently.

She's wearing a Jack Kerouac t-shirt too. Kerouac and Husker Du. My kind of girl.
