If you've yet to hear of these guys, their 2006 album, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Boys-Girls-America-Hold-Steady/dp/B000HIP3X4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1216083485&sr=1-2">Boys and Girls In America</a>, made them critical darlings, compared to everyone from Bruce Springsteen to The Replacements.<br /><br />According to the press: "Stay Positive is the fourth studio album from The Hold Steady and follows their hugely popular 2006 release Girls And Boys In America. Working once again with producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.), the album sees the band continue in the same direction their previous release took them, mixing classic bar-room style Rock with Craig Finn's half spoken/half sung lyrical tales of drinking, partying and love."
