Hüsker Dü, the legendary pioneers of the hardcore punk and post-punk scenes, are set to release their highly anticipated album "Jan. 30, First Ave Pt.2" on August 26, 2025, under the iconic Numero Group label. This album is a raw, unfiltered journey through the band's signature sounds, blending hardcore punk, punk, post-punk, noise rock, post-hardcore, and proto-punk into a compact yet explosive 20-minute experience.
Featuring nine tracks, including standout titles like "The Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill," "Terms Of Psychic Warfare," and "Books About UFOs," the album showcases Hüsker Dü's signature chaotic energy and introspective lyrics.

The album's brevity is a testament to the band's ability to deliver maximum impact in minimal time, a hallmark of their genre-defining discography.
"Jan. 30, First Ave Pt.2" is not just a continuation of Hüsker Dü's legacy; it's a celebration of their enduring influence and a must-listen for anyone interested in the evolution of punk and alternative music.
