Bob Mould was born and raised in upstate NY, before moving to Minnesota to attend Macalester College in 1978. While there, he formed the seminal hardcore punk band Hüsker Dü. When that band broke up in the late 1980’s he embarked on a solo career releasing two stellar albums before forming the power trio Sugar which achieved both critical and commercial success. When that band dissolved in 1995, he returned to his solo work. Mould’s influence on his peers as well subsequent generations of alternative and indie rock musicians is undeniable, with bands like R.E.M., Nirvana, My Bloody Valentine and Pixies all citing his music as inspirations.
Beyond his musical contributions, Mould has also been an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, co-organizing the WEDRock benefit concert for Freedom to Marry in 2004. He also openly discusses his sexuality and music career in his autobiography from 2011, See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody. In May 2025, Mould’s career came full circle when he delivered the keynote address and received an honorary degree in “Doctor Of Humane Letters” at Macalester College’s commencement ceremony.
