The Hold Steady + The Mark Inside December 14, 2008

The Hold Steady - Brooklyn based five-piece making blues-laden geek-rock for the 21st century. Although The Hold Steady's sound will probably appeal to fans of older bands such as Eels, Ben Folds and The Lemonheads, their sound is bang-up-to-date, illustrated by the success of their 2008 single 'Sequestered In Memphis'.

The Mark Inside - Pegged by many to be the next breakout band from Toronto, this noisy four-piece have put a fresh spin on dirty blues rock making them a band to keep an eye on in 2008! 'Gutsy, direct and often surprising. This music is timeless.' - Andy Gill (producer / member of Gang of Four)
