Boys And Girls In America
Longtime Listener
ROCK
The New York bar band extraordinaires are back... with a brand new album, their most rocking to date! The debut release for new local label, LONGTIME LISTENER, local version includes a whopping 4 previously unreleased exclusive bonus tracks!
'Boys And Girls In America' is the latest album from THE HOLD STEADY, and unquestionably their best to date; stronger songs, bigger production, CRAIG FINN sings(!) and the band is so unbelievably smoking, that no metaphor could possibly do them justice!
Yes, it's another serve of the seedier side of juvenile delinquency, delivered in Brooklyn via Minneapolis jive, but the themes are more universal this time 'round, although Holly the Hoodrat and friends do make brief appearances on the new album.
Radio track 'Chips Ahoy' is already on Triple J rotation !!
Produced by JON AGNELLO (SONIC YOUTH, DINOSAUR JR., THE BREEDERS, MARK LANEGAN, SON VOLT), the guitars are huge, the piano grand, bass pounding, drums cracking, brass belting... it's one of the most crankable rock records of the year!
Well-inspired by some of the giants of rock and roll, including THE E-STREET BAND, THIN LIZZY and BLACK SABBATH, but with more edge than Rubik's Cube, this is a record for old and young rockers alike!
This is the debut release for new local label Longtime Listener, a label dedicated to quality artists, great albums and good tunes, guaranteed to spin well in any player!
The bonus tracks included on the Australian/NZ edition included 3 new tunes recorded at the album sessions, and a cover of the VIOLENT FEMMES' classic "American Music.
