The Hold Steady have announced the release of their ninth studio album, The Price of Progress<\/em>, arriving everywhere on the band\u2019s Positive Jams label via Thirty Tigers on 31st March 2023. It will be available digitally as well as on CD, standard black vinyl, translucent green-colored vinyl (band store), metallic gold (indie retail), metallic silver (Vinyl Me, Please), and white (Rough Trade). Pre-orders are available now. The Price of Progress<\/em> is heralded by today\u2019s premiere of the first song, ‘Sideways Skull’, available now at all DSPs and streaming services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSideways Skull is a rocking song about rock and rollers,\u201d<\/em> says frontman Craig Finn. \u201cIn this case, they\u2019ve been taken out of the game for a bit of rest, but still keep their dreams alive as they discuss past glories. We loved the big sound of this when Tad Kubler brought it into the band, and the studio performance of it felt especially joyful. We\u2019re happy to put this forth as a first look at The Price of Progress, and the album\u2019s title even comes from this song.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
