The Limits of Hardcore Punk | Minnesota Hardcore: Episode 6

As hardcore, thrash, and slam dancing becomes routine, the Minnesota punk rock scene splinters off into different musical genres. DKV are art students bent on making uncomfortable noise, while Otto’s Chemical Lounge, with Tom Hazlemyer and Dale T. Nelson, are inspired by 1960s psychedelia, like Blue Cheer and Jimi Hendrix. Dave Pirner and Danny Murphy of Soul Asylum comment on R.E.M.
