Grant Hart is an American musician, best known as the drummer and co-songwriter for the influential alternative rock and hardcore punk band H�sker D�. After the band's breakup in 1988, Hart formed the alternative rock trio Nova Mob, where he moved to vocals and guitar. Hart's solo career became his main focus after the dissolution of Nova Mob in 1997. As the co-songwriter of H�sker D�, Hart's songs received praise from critics and contemporaries. Hart's vocal style, in contrast to that of H�sker D� bandmate Bob Mould, was a more measured and melodic delivery. His choice of lyrical themes, which ranged from teenage alienation in "Standing By The Sea" and the depiction of a murder in "Diane," to playful story-telling in "Books About UFOs," helped to expand the subject matter of hardcore punk.
