Stream: Stay Positive
The Hold Steady, with the help of Web Sheriff, have been doing a pretty solid job keeping the band’s upcoming album, Stay Positive (July 15 via Vagrant Records), under wraps, aside from a single release and of course, Consequence of Sound album review.
Nevertheless, even though the band’s fourth studio album is still a month away from its official release, the New York natives have decided to put the entire album up for stream via their Myspace. So head over and get your first taste of what is another solid collection of superb songwriting backed by Bruce Springsteen approved garage rock ‘n roll.
You’ll also be able to check out all the new material at any one of these upcoming scheduled shows…
