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.
