The Hold Steady is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2004. Noted for their “lyrically dense storytelling,” and classic rock influences, the band’s narrative-based songs frequently address themes, including drug addiction, religion and redemption, and often take place within the city of Minneapolis.
Formed four years following the break-up of vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn and lead guitarist Tad Kubler’s former band, Lifter Puller, The Hold Steady released their debut album, Almost Killed Me in 2004, and came to prominence with the release of their third studio album, Boys and Girls in America, in 2006.
