 SoulAsylum.com - The Official Home for Soul Asylum
THE SILVER LINING, Soul Asylum’s ninth full-length album (there were several EPs and cassette-only releases back in the indie ’80s) is every bit as quirky and off-centered cut-to-the-bone rock as their hardcore fans have come to expect, an indication that the Minneapolis -bred band has lost none of its edge.
The roots of Soul Asylum are in the group known as Loud Fast Rules, formed fresh out of high school in 1981 by teenagers Dave Pirner (songwriter, lead vocals and guitar, but originally on drums), Dan Murphy (guitar), and Karl Mueller (bass).
The sweet success of “Runaway Train” at Album Rock (#3) and Modern Rock (#13) was eclipsed by the single’s acceptance at top 40, as the song climbed to #5 on the Hot 100, was certified gold, and was even used as a Public Service Announcement to locate teen runaways, aired frequently on MTV.
