The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady was at an interesting point in their career when they performed at the Brooklyn Bowl for the virtual session, specifically showcasing tracks from their eighth studio album, "Open Door Policy". This album was released in February 2021, a few years after their 2014 effort, "Teeth Dreams". The performance not only highlighted their new material but also served as a testament to the band's resilience during the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, as live performances adapted to virtual formats. Craig Finn and Franz Nicolay's discussion during the session reflected on their roots in Lifter Puller, showcasing the band’s evolving sound while staying true to their narrative-driven approach. This live recording is significant as it marks a period of reinvention for The Hold Steady, emphasizing their continued relevance in the indie rock scene.
