According to Ryan Cooper of About.com and author Doyle Greene, 1980s hardcore punk band Black Flag is one of the pioneers of for the experimental style the band started playing later on in the 1980s. Post-hardcore bands Minutemen and Hüsker Dü are prominent 1980s post-hardcore bands. Hüsker Dü's 1984 album "Zen Arcade" is the band's critical breakthrough. When "Zen Arcade" was first released, the album received positive critical reception from "The New York Times" and "Rolling Stone". Outside the United States, post-hardcore would take shape in the works of the Canadian group Nomeansno, related with Jello Biafra and his independently run label Alternative Tentacles, and that had been active since 1979. The magazine "Dusted" noted that the group's 1989's release "Wrong" was "one of the most aggressive and powerful opuses in post-hardcore ever made".
