		Steady hands: Bobby Drake (from left), Galen Polivka, Craig Finn, Tad Kubler and Franz Nicolay are the Hold Steady.
		The Hold Steady sound is, at its heart, classic rock with a raw, raucous energy and studied sloppiness.
		For the Hold Steady, adversity means being confined to the confusing artistic ghetto of fawning critical adulation and indifferent commercial snubbing.

	SF Station: Hold Steady
		The Hold Steady seem to have found a way to exist in this historically oriented environment and push the envelope at the same time.
		The Hold Steady describe their music as "bar rock", but this belies the intention and skill with which it was created.
		The Hold Steady are well worth a listen, even if the thought of spoken-word generally sends you scuttling down the nearest sewer drain.

	From Hold Steady, a barroom blast - The Boston Globe
		That was one lesson learned this past Saturday, as the opening strains of the Replacements' ''Left of the Dial" blared through the sound system when the Hold Steady left the stage.
		It was an inspired send-off, in part because of the song's celebration of 1980s college radio, which was where acts like the Hold Steady would have been able to find a haven from the taunting and cruelty of the mainstream.
		With a more equitable mix, Craig Finn's vocals weren't as prominent as they are on the album; they were overwhelmed at times by the rest of the band as it churned through its megacharged bar anthems like a still-hungry E Street Band on the verge of collapse.

	Hold Steady: Aversion.com Interview
		The Hold Steady is, quite simply, a plain-old rock band that dispensed with everything but riffery and Finn’s trademark frank lyrics.
		The Hold Steady is a no-frills rock act that’s almost an endangered species as the musical ecosystem is thrown as out of wack as a Los Angeles beach by gluts of third-rate hipsters.
		Also, I think if people would listen to The Hold Steady’s lyrics or Lifter Puller’s lyrics, although there tends to be a lot of talk of drugs and sex and things like that, it tends not to be a glorification.

		Second, and more importantly: Although the characters in the Hold Steady's beery tales are big drinkers, you can't imagine many of them bellied up to a bar.
		That sort of drinking-- introspective, sometimes done alone, indoors-- is the antithesis of the imbibing in Hold Steady songs.
		For all of Finn's holding his lyrics at arm's length here, he remains one of the best writers in rock, demonstrating grit and spunk and wit and intelligence in each track.

	The Hold Steady - PopMatters Concert Review
		After the basketball bit, The Hold Steady tore into the crowd first with "Positive Jam", track one on their debut, The Hold Steady Almost Killed Me.
		With its rallying cry of "we gotta start it off with a positive jam," The Hold Steady are pretty much forced to open their shows with this song for the duration of their career.
		The Hold Steady laid it down for sure, though, on "Killer Parties", with the guitars quieting down and Finn's voice taking over.

	MAGNET Interview: Hold Steady
		That music critics never fail to be heavy-handed when quoting the Hold Steady’s lyrics is just one clue to the big-picture ingenuity of singer/guitarist Craig Finn.
		At the same time, [the Hold Steady] could be accused of doing something from a different era.
		I think the whole idea of the Hold Steady was pretty fresh—not in the sense of “new,” but maybe it’s classic rock with a small “c.” These riffs that you grew up with, they’re ground zero.

	Rolling Stone : The Hold Steady Get Hip
		Craig Finn, frontman for the Hold Steady, had a classic-rock epiphany five years ago as he jammed with some friends in Brooklyn: "We were doing 'Back in Black' and 'Jailbreak,' and we were like, 'Wait, these riffs sound great!'" he says.
		They founded the Hold Steady, who back Finn's hoarse, shouted-word delivery of his novelistic lyrics with utterly uncool bar-band rockin' that's not afraid to evoke Thin Lizzy.
		The Hold Steady's 2004 debut, Almost Killed Me, unexpectedly landed in the top forty of the Village Voice's Pazz and Jop poll, and their new second album, Separation Sunday, is grabbing college-radio play with the uncharacteristically melodic single "Your Little Hoodrat Friend." "It was written to be deliberately more poppy," says Finn.

	Splendid: Features: The Hold Steady
		The Hold Steady was born from the fragments of Lifter Puller, one of the great lost punk bands of the late-1980s/early-1990s, celebrated more vigorously in retrospect than it ever was in life.
		There are a lot of people at the Hold Steady shows who say, "Lifter Puller was my favorite band.
		I think of The Hold Steady as a classic rock band with a small, lower-case C. We take on riffs that are familiar.

	Kerouac, malls and the Hold Steady
		On the weekend of the Hold Steady's CD-release party last year in New York City, frontman Craig Finn nonchalantly mentioned that he recently had reread Jack Kerouac's "On the Road."I read it when I was 16 but didn't really get it," he said.
		In my mind, all that added up to a Hold Steady song."Boys and Girls" still draws heavily from the members' time in the Twin Cities (drummer Bobby Drake is also a Minneapolis native).
		That idea seems to apply right now in the lives of the Hold Steady's members, who formed in 2001 as a weekend kind of band but have plainly become a full-time operation.

	Ink 19 :: The Hold Steady (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Hold Steady seemingly came out of nowhere to release what became the album of 2005, Separation Sunday.
		Held together by the core of Craig Finn (singer) and Tad Kubler (lead guitar), both from '90s act Lifter Puller, Hold Steady weld their tales of trash culture, excess and wasted youth on salvaged and recycled barroom riffs.
		As a couple of mid-west transplants by way of Minneapolis to the Bronx, their sound hearkens back to growing up in a suburban wasteland, where classic rock dominates the airwaves.

	Views of Muslim-Americans Hold Steady After London Bombings
		That is roughly the same proportion that expressed positive opinions of Muslim-Americans in Pew surveys conducted in July 2003 and March 2002, and significantly higher than the 45% holding favorable views in March 2001, prior to the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
		Most striking in the wake of the terrorist attacks in London is that the number of Americans saying that Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence has fallen significantly to 36% in the current survey from 44% two years ago.
		More than four-in-ten of those under age 50 (43%) hold favorable opinions of the Muslim faith, compared with a quarter of those ages 65 and older.

	The Hold Steady: Almost Killed Me - PopMatters Music Review
		Finn acquaints listeners with the grand tradition of folly and ends by asking the famously sheltered and ready-to-mope "clever kids" to hold steady.
		That's the gist of the second track, "The Swish", which to its credit, rocks with as much glee as anything you're likely to hear this year.
		In fact, the Hold Steady is as solid a rock band as any around.

		Almost Killed Me, the Hold Steady's debut, was a sleeper hit on its release in 2004.
		Why We Like 'Em The Hold Steady isn't a typical indie act - combining a classic rock feel with literate lyrics and Craig Finn's unique drawl, they stand out from all the neo-New Wave and garage punk out there.
