Resistindo às tendências musicais na cidade de Nova York, o vocalista e guitarrista Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) formou a Hold Steady depois da mudança de Minneapolis, em 2000. Querendo recuperar o som de bandas como Replacements e Grifers, ele recrutou o guitarrista Tad Kubler (também ex-Lifter Puller), o baterista Judd Counsell e o baixista Galen Polivka. Gravando principalmente ao vivo, a banda lançou seu debute, "Almost Killed Me", pela Frenchkiss Records, em março de 2004. Dave Gardener (Rocket From The Crypt, Drive Like Jehu) e Dean Botulonis assinaram a produção de "Separation Sunday", que foi lançado em 2005. Franz Nicolay (teclados), da The World/Inferno Friendship Society, e Bobby Drake (bateria), ex-End Transmission e ex-Arm, também foram adicionados à banda. 
O terceiro trabalho do grupo, "Boys And Girls In America", de 2006, marcou a sua estréia pelo selo Vagrant. Depois de compor a maioria das músicas do seu quarto disco na estrada, a Hold Steady voltou ao Water Music, estúdio de John Agnello, para gravar "Stay Positive", o seu álbum mais bem produzido. Em julho de 2008, o álbum foi lançado tanto pela Vagrant quanto pela Rough Trade. Em 2010, a banda anunciou a saída de Franz Nicolay. Logo após, naquele mesmo ano, foi lançado o seu quinto disco, "Heaven Is Whenever" (Kenyon Hopkin, allmusic; tradução livre do inglês).
A página da Hold Steady no MySpace traz mais informações sobre a banda.
