With so much tired and repetitive music calling itself "punk" and "emo" these days, it's refreshing to hear the Hold Steady continue to craft their unique combination of post-punk elements with piano-driven hooks. If you are over punk, but were into Husker Du, early Ben Folds Five or the Doughboys, this is for you. Grab an MP3 and see Brooklyn's finest on the road after the jump.
