'Boys and Girls in America' is actually the third album from New York based The Hold Steady, but their first to receive an official release in the UK.
The title of the record is scribbled from a line in Kerouac's 'On the Road' & if you think Springsteen mixed with The Replacements & add a dash of The Pixies, you won't be far off the beaten track.
The songs feature three main characters - 'Teenage Party Girl' Holly, 'Stoner' Gideon & 'Drug Pushing' Charlemagne who all cameo on the track 'First Night' - it makes for a killer concoction.

Right from the offset when the first powerchord kicks in & rips through the speakers on 'Stuck between Stations' you know you're in for a fun ride. A colossal & momentous 'American' album.
Here's a sample from The Hold Steady's latest album.
