The Hold Steady are taking back traditional Midwestern Americana rock music from folks like John Cougar Mellencamp. They’re replacing the rocking chair and lawn mower with a BB gun and keg of beer, repurposing the messages for a younger generation. Their music reminds us of growing up in the Midwest — restless and fearless, jumping fences at night.
