I’m Probably The Only One Who Didn’t Know Soul Asylum Is Still Around

I was just remembering the “Runaway Train” song by Soul Asylum in the mid nineties and I started wondering what the band had been up to.

I was a little surprised when I took a look at their Wikipedia page to realize they’re still together and still making albums. All I really knew from them was “Runaway Train.” Heck, “Runaway Train” was on their��Grave Dancers Union��album and that turned out to have been their sixth album. They’ve released four since, the most recent in 2012:

Say What You Will, Clarence… Karl Sold the Truck (1984) (Twin/Tone)
Made to Be Broken (1986) (Twin/Tone)
While You Were Out (1986) (Twin/Tone)
Hang Time (1988) (A&M)
And the Horse They Rode In On (1990) (A&M)
Grave Dancers Union (1992) [3x Platinum] (Columbia)
Let Your Dim Light Shine (1995) [Platinum] (Columbia)
Candy from a Stranger (1998) (Columbia)
The Silver Lining (2006) (Legacy)[2]
Delayed Reaction (2012) (429 Records)

I just found it odd that I could like that one song so much and know nothing else, or hear nothing else since that song, about them. Probably would hve been different if I’d gone looking, which I haven’t despite liking “Runaway Train,” but still.
