Teenage girl blogs about music. That's all.

Further whetting my apetite for Heaven is Whenever, The Hold Steady has released two new songs off the record.  The first is “Rock Problems,” a snarling, fist-pump worthy, guitar-shredding tune about women who “just can’t sympathize with your rock ‘n’ roll problems.”

The second is “The Weekenders,” which opens like a U2 track then builds into, well, a nostalgic beer-soaked anthem fit for only the Hold Steady themselves.

The Hold Steady writes songs that are destined to be, to quote the band, “sing-along psalms.”  These new tracks are no exceptions.
