Soul Asylum quizzes
Soul Asylum, the Minneapolis alternative rock band formed in 1981, rose to mainstream success with their 1993 hit "Runaway Train" from the album Grave Dancers Union, blending gritty punk roots with radio-ready hooks. Still touring and recording, Soul Asylum remains a landmark name in American alternative rock.
Did You Know?
Long after their 1990s peak, Soul Asylum persisted through lineup changes and tragedies (illness, departures) and kept releasing new music and touring — they’re an example of an alt‑rock band that slowly rebuilt itself rather than disbanding after a hit.
