The Hold Steady
The Hold Steady
New York, USrock, alternative, blues, folk
69.0m all-time streams (10 Feb '26)
A band who upheld the values and integrity of indie and punk rock, the Hold Steady were not afraid to embrace rock classicism, fusing the bar band vigor of The Replacements with the epic-scale musical backdrops of Bruce Springsteen, while vocalist Craig Finn spilled out stories that were as impassioned as they were unpretentiously literate.
They attracted a fervently dedicated following who embraced the beery, anthemic style of their debut album, 2004's Almost Killed Me.
