The Hold Steady are a Brooklyn-based 'bar band', driven by the lyrical storytelling of front man Craig Finn. In the early days of the band, Finn would half speak, half shout his beat poem lyrics over the classic rock hooks from the band. This album is their fullest concept record, about a girl named Holly, the ne'er-do-wells she hangs out with, and the parties and the scene they inhabit. Holly's misadventures are set alongside her Catholicism as the album reaches it's epic closer, 'How a Resurrection Really Feels'. 'The Cattle and the Creeping Things' is another stand out track in an album full of them; one of the best bands of the last 10 years.
