Brooklyn six-piece
The Hold Steady are an NYC indie-rock institution.

The Hold Steady Share New Song Spices Friday, 29 January 2021
The Hold Steady have unveiled a new song.
Spices is the third cut following Heavy Covenant and Family Farm to preview the renowned rock band s eighth studio album, Open Door Policy , which is due for release on February 19.
The track finds singer and guitarist Craig Finn s spoken word storytelling taking centre stage as guitar riffs bend around eachother and build to a crescendo of driving percussion and horns. Finn said:
“‘Spices’ began with the intro riff that guitarist Tad Kubler brought in, and it unfurled quickly when the band got together. It’s probably one of the heaviest songs on the record, but it achieves some levity with the horn section that arrives at the chorus. Like a number of others on the record, ‘Spices’ speaks of technology – the way texts, social media, DMs, etc. allow acquaintances to pop up into our lives and potentially disappear again just as quickly.”
2 months ago Heavy Covenant by The Hold Steady
The Hold Steady have dropped “Heavy Covenant,” the latest single off the band’s forthcoming release
Open Door Policy, available via Positive Jams label via Thirty Tigers on Friday, February 19, 2021. “‘Heavy Covenant’ is a song about travel, technology, and human connection,” says singer Craig Finn. “The song came out of two different music pieces that THS piano/keyboardist Franz Nicolay brought in, and with the help of producer Josh Kaufman, we combined them. It came together quickly, and when our friends Stuart and Jordan came in and added the horns to the chorus it really seemed to bring it together. To us, this song is a great indication of where the band’s sound is at in 2021.”
