This Wiki is dedicated to one of the greatest rock bands on the scene, The Hold Steady, and has been set up with the following goals:
- Annotating references in lyrics
- Documenting facts relating to the band
- Profiling characters form The Hold Steady's songs
- Documenting The Hold Steady's live shows with photos, setlists, reviews, etc.
Please note this is a fansite and is not directly associated with nor necessarily endorsed by The Hold Steady, Vagrant Records or any other related party. Any views expressed are those of the general public and I'm afraid neither ConstantSun, theholdsteady.info or EditThis.info can be held liable for content.
