New Hold Steady Songs Ahead of Their 4 Night Brooklyn Bowl Residency

One of RtBE's favorite groups The Hold Steady are kicking off their Four Show "Massive Nights" Brooklyn Bowl run tonight. To celebrate they released two new tracks for their fans, both of which they will probably play tonight.

The group put them out on their bandcamp site and you can stream over there or below. The songs do have a demo feel to them and we wouldn't be surprised if the band re-worked them before officially releasing both on a future album, but they are classic tHS style. Big swells (even horns) tons of lyrics with memorable turns of phrase and major riffs.


While we personally dig "Entitlement Crew" more, both are solid and it is fun to have Franz back in the mix. We will be attending and reviewing the Friday Night show with a bunch of friends, RtBE can not wait to see them. Below are some older live tunes to get us all pumped.
