The Hold Steady
Yah we all know the critical cliches...Husker Du vs. Bruce Springsteen, narrative-led songs, a skewed & intelligent slice of modern Americana, critique of modern life's day to day issues, yada yada yada.
Putting this aside, the more I listen to this band, the more I realise that they are becoming a band of the greats for me. The lyrics speak to the head, the music speaks to the heart, the lyrics tug the heart some more and I am lost in this music.
