Take It or HEAVE It: Staying Positive About The Hold Steady
This week Ryan and Wes review The Hold Steady, Albert Hammond Jr, Sunny Day Sets Fire and Brothers and Sisters. They also debate whether or not sticking with a formula works for a band, or if the band should shake things up to be a little more interesting.

You are right. The Strokes do suck.

what you people must remember, is that the Strokes were pretty much responsible for turning a little bit of America's attention away from the blight of bands like Limp Bizkit and Staind and Linkin Park. Please give them credit for that and let that soothing sound of Coldplay wash over you.... ooooooooooooh ahhhhhhhhh!
