Heard this yesterday on Leisure System Radio via hivemind.fm . Big tune for sure. Christian Aids: "Stay +:"

Christian Aids have unleashed the SUPERB (in our opinion) video for their "Stay +" b side, "Young Luv". All be it a second and obviously unofficial one. continue reading >>

Christians AIDS' mind blowingly good first track "Stay Positive +" drops it's b-side today with track "Young Luv". continue reading >>

Contributed by Christopher Gedos Pulsating backbeat, haunting synths. The beginnings to any great electro track. Indecipherable lyrics either about death or hooking up in the discotheque. This track is so fly I can even forgive the wholly insensitive name Christian AIDS or the equally unoriginal track title, "Stay Positive". They and indie dopplegangers WU LYF are holding down the Manchester scene in the year 2011. Keep thine ear low to the ground. Christian AIDS - Stay Positive Christian AIDS : [...]

• The Streets - Stay Positive

2011 is already shaping up to be a memorable year for new music. And after bringing you news of Telekinesis yesterday we have more new talent with the rather controversially named ' Christian Aids '. The best compliment I can give them at this point is that they remind me of a more civil, more organised Crystal Castles (shout out to the synthesizer) with a hint of post 90's hacienda-rave thrown in for good measure. All we know is they're from Manchester, and while there isnt much else to go on, we're [...]

The Hold Steady - Heaven Is Whenever This is the first play of the entire new Hold Steady Album courtesy of NPR. Being a big time listener of the Hold Steady this is quite exciting news. First impressions: I'm happy. I cant place my reaction to this in much more complex terms than this. The lyrics are vintage Craig Finn, there is still the occasional piano flicker and "woah-oh-oh" backing despite Franz Nicolay moving on to pastures new and the power chords riff and roll about like they should. The whole band [...]

Girls Go For Status..... A bunch of new Hold Steady videos up on the Youtube page (including this one, "Girls Like Status"), from the 2009 Rockpalast broadcast.

The Hold Steady show off their skills as a live act with A Positive Rage , a generous CD/DVD set culled from concerts in 2006 and 2007.

So I thought I was in for a normal boring lecture last night in my entertainment and media industries class. I took my seat, kept my head down, listened to my iPod, the usual. Class was about to start, so I took my headphones off, looked up, and whaddaya know - Craig Finn , frontman of Brooklyn's hugely popular The Hold Steady , was sitting in front of us! Apparently I should pay more attention - I had no idea we were having a guest speaker, much less someone as awesome as Craig Finn. Anyway, he [...]

Somewhere between Springsteen, Robert Earl Keen and Bob Schneider, Craig Finn's gravelly voice relates a story about partying, girls, the consequences of maybe having too many good times, and growing older...but mostly partying. In between these wonderfully dense and oftentimes amusing lyrical spans, The Hold Steady has piled on many familiar style guitar solos, along with harpsichord, organs, piano fills, piano solos, blasting drums, and even more guitar solos. The Hold Steady has absolutely packed Stay Positive with the most awesome rock 'n roll elements that any rock fan looks for, and they have turned out a gem of a record [...]

Live from the BBC's Jools Holland NYE Hootenanny 2008/09

The Hold Steady are one of those bands that it seems absurd that more people don't appreciate now, yet if you know their music you'll know that 20 years from now twice as many people will be listening to them. The Hold Steady is the creation of singer/songwriter Craig Finn, who at first glance you might expect to see in the cubicle next to you rather than leading one of the most inspired and cathartic bands in existence. While the band owes a lot to past rock powerhouses (in this album explicitly paying tribute to The Clash's Joe Strummer and [...]

"Because everyone seemed to completely forget about The Hold Steady this year, which is only more proof that history is dying and long-term memory has become short-term memory and short-term memory has become a dream," writes Rex Sorgatz . To which, I would say, well yes. Sort of. It's not so much that people's memories have contracted to the point of not existing, which to a degree they have; when it comes to music people treat bands and musicians as they would movies - they're not necessarily inclined to get down with a sequel to a beloved [...]
