The Hold Steady’s arrived at an interesting moment in the progression of their smart-guy bar rock. As we’ve mentioned, album five is the first since the departure of Franz Nicolay, the one member you’d assume was a rock star if you passed the guys on the street.

Band of Horses, like the Hold Steady, seem to release a new song online every few days. We’ve heard “Compliments” and “Laredo” so far, and “Factory” is a step up from both, though it would probably be too sleepy without the swells of strings driving the chorus. New favorite li...

We saw the Franz-less Hold Steady play “Barely Breathing” at their tour kick-off show in Ardsley. Craig Finn looked like he was having a great time, but it was hard to hear him singing over the video crackle. Now that we have this track, it’s clear that, once again, nostalgia plays a big part, as [...]

So far we’ve heard “Hurricane J” and “Rock Problems,” and now Hold Steady’s given up a third track from Heaven Is Whenever. As on “Rock Problems,” Craig Finn’s half-remembering, half-trying-to-forget a wretched night: “She said ‘The them...
