The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America
Genre: Indie Rock
Release Date: 10/03/2006
Sounds Like: Guided by Voices, Ted Leo
Overall Rating: 6.5/10
Summary: Boys and Girls in America is the third release from The Hold Steady. I have never heard a chord of their previous albums so I don’t have anything to compare them to. This is just a fun album all the way through. The songs are tales of drinking and living. The sound is early 80’s guitar rock with flavors of Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC and Cheaptrick, but yet a distinctive 2006 indie rock feel. This album is meant to be enjoyed with a cold beer and some good friends. Click here for a track.
