About

Released in 2004, The Hold Steady’s <i>Almost Killed Me</i> was more than just a tremendous debut album. It was also a manifesto of sorts for the group’s fan, whose devotion to The Hold Steady—and to its warm and wild live shows—would only grow more impassioned in the decades ahead. Craig Finn and Tad Kubler had spent much of the 1990s in the raucous Minnesota band Lifter Puller; after that group broke up, the two moved to Brooklyn, New York, where they quickly started playing music together again, this time as The Hold Steady. It wa, in many way, an inevitable turn of event. As Finn would declare on <i>Almost Killed Me</i>’s opening track, “Positive Jam”: “I got bored when I didn’t have a band/And so I started a band, man.” .
