Good news - The Hold Steady have completed their upcoming album tentatively entitled Stay Positive. Sure, the new record still needs mastering, sequencing, and artwork - but you’ve gotta admire the ever-prolific/wonderful Hold Steady for releasing four LPs in five years! Sharing the same name of a song the band has been playing live, front man Craig Finn has said that it’s “safe to say [Stay Postive is] the name of the record.”

The Hold Steady - “Stay Positive” (Live @ Toad’s Place 11.19.2007)
