The Hold Steady by Shervin Lainez
The Hold Steady will celebrate their 20th anniversary on the road this year.
The Hold Steady have set their ninth studio album The Price Of Progress for release on March 31st.
First single Sideways Skull is a, ‘rocking song about rock and rollers’, according to frontman Craig Finn, recorded like the rest of the LP with the band’s longtime collaborator Josh Kaufman at The Clubhouse in Rhinebeck, NY.
“In this case, they’ve been taken out of the game for a bit of rest, but still keep their dreams alive as they discuss past glories,” Finn said.
“We loved the big sound of this when Tad Kubler brought it into the band, and the studio performance of it felt especially joyful. We’re happy to put this forth as a first look at The Price of Progress, and the album’s title even comes from this song.”
