The Hold Steady Sign To Rough Trade

The Hold Steady have agreed to release their new album through Rough Trade in the
UK and
Europe. The band, who are signed to Vagrant in the

US, have just completed recording the follow-up to the universally-acclaimed ‘Boys & Girls In America’.

Singer Craig Finn said: “We are really excited to begin this relationship with Rough Trade. From The Smiths to the Strokes, they have consistently released music from great artists and we are honored to be a part of the roster. Rough Trade records have been part of my own collection since I started buying my own records in the early 1980s.”
