The Hold Steady is an American indie rock band that was formed in 2003 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently based in Brooklyn, New York, the band consists of Craig Finn on vocals and guitar, Tad Kubler on lead guitar, Galen Polivka on bass, Franz Nicolay on keyboards, Bobby Drake on drums, and Steve Selvidge on guitar.
Known for their energetic live performances and unique storytelling lyrics, The Hold Steady has gained a dedicated fanbase over the years. Their music blends elements of punk rock with classic rock influences to create a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.
With their catchy hooks and anthemic choruses, The Hold Steady's songs often explore themes of youth culture, love, religion, and redemption. Their albums have received critical acclaim and they continue to tour extensively around the world.

Heaven Is Whenever the fifth hold steady album was produced by dean baltulonis (who also produced the band's breakthrough 'separation sunday') and marks the first time the group have recorded without recently departed keyboardist franz nicolay. Singer craig finn says 'heaven is whenever' is about "embracing suffering and understanding its place in a joyful life. the lyrics speak a lot about struggle and reward." piano and keys take a backseat to guitar on the record, which also gets production help from guitarist tad kubler. 'heaven is whenever' has a bit more open space and is less anthemic and more complex.
