MMW: The Hold Steady

Saturday, February 15th, 2014 // Blogs,MMW

The Hold Steady is an awesome band! Their lyrics and storytelling are big draws for me. Awesome riffs and great keyboards (when they still had a keyboardist). My favorite of theirs is Separation Sunday. One track on there actually has a line that outlines the themes for two of their future albums, which is super cool to look back on now. Craig Finn’s got a crazy voice, too. It’s kind of like if your uncle had a rock band, and was really good at Springsteen-esque storytelling.
