 In Hart's case, his mother let him use the copier machine at the credit union where she worked to make show flyers, and the band added $2,000 to an existing loan at the credit union to release the band's first single, "Statues", on their own label Reflex Records in 1981.Success existed on a small scale for the band; by 1982 Hart was unemployed and relied on support from friends and family.Hüsker Dü's music became more accomplished and melodic over time.
