Guitarist Dan Murphy, bassist Karl Mueller and drummer Dave Pirner formed in 1981 as Loud Fast Rules in Minneapolis, MN. When the shambolic, no-longer-teenage band burst on to the scene in 1984, they'd added Grant Young on drums and switched Pirner to rhythm guitar and vocals for the loud and fast Twin Tone album, Say What You Will, Clarence...Karl Sold the Truck. Sadly, the record was overshadowed by the current releases by fellow Twin Cities denizens the Replacements and Husker Du; Soul Asylum have gone on record stating they were dubbed "the B-teamers" by the Replacements, which created bad feelings between the bands for years. Still, the band forged their way on college radio and countless U.S. club tours, which gained them a devoted following. The "hell-on" rock band, in guitarist Murphy's words, released Made to Be Broken and the similar While You Were Out in 1986, but Pirner's songwriting always far outshone the form. The band signed to A&M Records in 1989 as part of a distribution pact between Twin Tone and A&M for the harder rock-sounding Hang Time, produced by Lenny Kaye. The record garnered some college radio attention, but by 1990's And the Horse They Rode In On, Soul Asylum had fallen out of favor with the indie-rock set and were left languishing in limbo, having almost entirely forsaken their post-punk indie roots. Pirner and Murphy spent the time regrouping, working out songs as the acoustic duo Murphy and Pirfinkle, touring the Midwest. The songs found their way to Columbia Records and onto Grave Dancers Union in 1992, which ultimately earned the band a multiplatinum record after a slow start. The magical third single, "Runaway Train," propelled by a public service announcement-style video for missing children, helped push the single to number five and the album to number 11 and turned the band into a household name. They performed at the Clinton Inaugural in 1992. .....
