The Hold Steady performed an explosive version of their new song "Sideways Skull" last night on Late Night with Seth Meyers. The song is from the band's ninth studio album, The Price of Progress, which came out last week on their own Positive Jams label via Thirty Tigers. WATCH "SIDEWAYS SKULL" ON LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS The Price of Progress arrives as The Hold Steady mark the 20th anniversary of their foundation, bringing new ideas, sounds, and textures to a still-evolving canon of nine studio album releases that began with 2004’s Almost Killed Me. The album – which featured front and back cover photographs by renowned Minneapolis-based photographer Alec Soth – was produced by longtime collaborator Josh Kaufman at The Clubhouse in Rhinebeck, NY, and mixed by D. James Goodwin. The Price of Progress stands as the band’s most sonically expansive record thus far while also remaining unmistakably The Hold Steady, showcasing narrative rock ‘n’ roll tales of ordinary people struggling and surviving in a modern world. The album is available now in a variety of formats, including digital download, CD, standard black vinyl, translucent green vinyl (theholdsteady.net), metallic gold (Independent Retail exclusive), metallic silver (Vinyl Me, Please exclusive), and white (Rough Trade exclusive). STREAM/PURCHASE THE PRICE OF PROGRESS The Hold Steady – who recently kicked off their 20th-anniversary cycle with sold-out shows in Brooklyn, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and London – will celebrate The Price of Progress with a wide-ranging live schedule.
