"In fact, the Brooklyn-based five-piece bowed at No. 124 on the chart with its third album, Boys and Girls in America. The Vagrant set also managed a No. 9 and No. 2 showing on the Tastemakers and Heatseekers charts, respectively.
"With zero airplay and no TV exposure, the Hold Steady attributes much of its success to its 'ravenous' fanbase. 'I don't know if there's a way of calculating this, but I think that [with] a good ratio of our fans -- we're their favorite band,' Finn says. 'They're more ravenous. They'll travel with us.'"
