Hüsker Dü was an American rock band formed in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1979.
 The band's continual members were guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, bassist Greg Norton, and drummer/vocalist Grant Hart.

 Mould and Hart were the principal songwriters for Hüsker Dü, with Hart's higher-pitched vocals and Mould's baritone taking the lead in alternating songs.
Warehouse: Songs and Stories (1987) is the sixth and final studio album by alternative rock band Hüsker Dü, originally released by Warner Bros.
 Records as a double album on two vinyl LPs.
 The band dissolved following the tour in support of its release, in part due to disagreements between songwriters Bob Mould and Grant Hart over the latter's drug use.
 This album, along with "Candy Apple Grey", showcases the increasing maturity of Mould and Hart's writing—a change which alienated some long-time fans.
 This album is also known for its battle between the two songwriters, with Mould famously telling Hart that he would never have more than half of the songs on a Hüsker Dü album.
