The Hold Steady is 20 years old! Time flies when you’re having fun, but it’s still hard to believe that 2023 makes two decades of THS. Of course, we think growing out of our teenage years is reason to throw a party or two – this year will be full of Hold Steady celebrations to honor the music, positivity, and incredible community that have made the last twenty years so amazing.
First off, we are releasing our 9th studio album The Price of Progress on March 31, 2023 via Positive Jams/Thirty Tigers. Produced by Josh Kaufman and recorded over the past year, this record features 10 new THS songs, some of which we’ve been playing live in recent shows.
You can PRE-ORDER NOW, as well as check out “Sideways Skull”, the first song released from the album. The online store features all music formats (Digital, CD, Vinyl) and some brand new The Price Of Progress themed merch.
For you vinyl fans, we’ve got an exclusive, limited edition translucent green vinyl available only at THS.net along with standard vinyl.
There are three (3) additional vinyl colors available at retail only:
a) metallic gold (independent retail exclusive)
b) metallic silver (Vinyl Me, Please exclusive)
c) white (Rough Trade exclusive).
We are really proud of the record and excited for you to hear it. A great way to start year twenty!
