The Hold Steady have shared the official music video for “Grand Junction,” the opening track on their acclaimed ninth studio album, The Price of Progress, available now on their own Positive Jams label via Thirty Tigers. Shot on location in the United Kingdom at London’s Electric Ballroom during the band's Weekender show on March 10, 2023 by photographer/filmmaker Lee Allen, “Grand Junction” is streaming now on YouTube.
“This video captures part of this year’s installment of The Weekender,” says THS frontman Craig Finn, “an annual and magical three days in London filled with community, song, and celebration. 2023 was our best one yet, and we are very pleased it became the foundation for this video for the first song on our new album.”

Hailed by Pitchfork as “vivid and weird: a celebration of second winds, unlikely comebacks, and undying rock’n’roll dreams,” The Price of Progress is available now in a variety of formats, including digital download, CD, standard black vinyl, translucent green vinyl (theholdsteady.net), metallic gold (Independent Retail exclusive), metallic silver (Vinyl Me, Please exclusive), and white (Rough Trade exclusive). The album – which arrives as The Hold Steady mark the 20th anniversary of their foundation – also includes such standout tracks as “Understudies,” “Sixers,” and “Sideways Skull." The Hold Steady recently visited NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers for an explosive live performance of “Sideways Skull."
