Terminal 5 says…

Brooklyn-based quintet the Hold Steady pad their riotous classic rock with whip-smart and often hilarious character studies; frontman Craig Finn's boozy tales of debauchery and faith are equal parts John Berryman and Jack Kerouac. England's Art Brut evoke a Hold Steady more beholden to the Fall than Springsteen. With a knack for haymaking punch lines, they couch their drollery in serrated post-punk. Glasgow's 1990s contain two ex-members of the Yummy Fur and sound like a gawkier Franz Ferdinand. Despite their disparate lineages, the three bands share a similar fondness for uproarious, earnestly ironic rock music.
