The Hold Steady, Stay Positive

The Hold Steady, STAY POSITIVE (Vagrant Records)
While I’ve always respected Springsteen, aside from “Born to Run” (a perfect rock song), his music has always left me cold. Filling the void, Jersey stalwarts The Hold Steady’s pissed yet hopeful blast of punk Americana is rife with bold anthems that don’t evoke fist pumping or backwards ball caps.
