The long-awaited, full-force autobiography of American punk
music hero, Bob Mould
Bob Mould stormed into America's punk rock scene in 1979, when
clubs across the country were filling with kids dressed in black
leather and torn denim, packing in to see bands like the Ramones,
Black Flag, and the Dead Kennedys. Hardcore punk was a riot of
jackhammer rhythms, blistering tempos, and bottomless aggression.
And at its center, a new band out of Minnesota called Hüsker Dü was
bashing out songs and touring the country on no money, driven by
the inspiration of guitarist and vocalist Bob Mould. Their music
roused a generation.

From the start, Mould wanted to make Hüsker Dü the greatest band in
the world - faster and louder than the hardcore standard, but with
melody and emotional depth. In SEE A LITTLE LIGHT, Mould finally
tells the story of how the anger and passion of the early hardcore
scene blended with his own formidable musicianship and
irrepressible drive to produce some of the most important and
influential music of the late 20th century.

For the first time, Mould tells his dramatic story, opening up to
describe life inside that furnace and beyond. Revealing the
struggles with his own homosexuality, the complexities of his
intimate relationships, as well as his own drug and alcohol
addiction, Mould takes us on a whirlwind ride through achieving
sobriety, his acclaimed solo career, creating the hit band Sugar, a
surprising detour into the world of pro wrestling, and most of all,
finally finding his place in the world.

A classic story of individualism and persistence, Mould's
autobiography is an open account of the rich history of one of the
most revered figures of punk, whose driving force altered the shape
of American music.
