Silver Age by Bob Mould
Silver Age is an album by Bob Mould, released in 2012. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Descent”, on 2 lists with a best position of #66.
Silver Age, Bob Mould's tenth solo album, came out on Merge in September 2012, and the former Hüsker Dü and Sugar frontman sounds like he's plugged himself straight back into the wall socket. He made it as a power trio, with Jason Narducy on bass and Superchunk's Jon Wurster on drums, and it's loud, fast and melodic: guitars buzzing like a kicked hornet's nest, Mould barking hooks over the top, the sound he forged in those two bands turned up and sharpened.
The timing fit. Sugar's Copper Blue was getting a 20th anniversary reissue, and the trio toured playing that whole album in order alongside the new songs and a few Hüsker Dü numbers. Beauty & Ruin followed.
