Biografia:

Assim chamado em homenagem ao clássico filme de Krzysztof Kieslowski (nota minha: no Brasil, "A Fraternidade é Vermelha", de 1994), o grupo punk revivalista britânico 3 Colours Red era formado pelo cantor e baixista Pete Vukovic, os guitarristas Chris McCormack e Ben Harding e o baterista Keith Baxter.

Fundada em Londres, no ano de 1996, a banda conseguiu emplacar um sucesso no circuito underground com seu estreante single, "This Is My Hollywood", lançado pela gravadora Fierce Panda; o sucesso do compacto despertou a atenção de Alan McGee, chefão do selo Creation Records, que imediatamente contratou o grupo e soltou o single "Nuclear Holiday". Mais dois singles, "Sixty Mile Smile" e "Pure", precederam o lançamento do primeiro álbum, também intitulado "Pure". O EP "Paralyse" saiu no fim de 1998, antes do lançamento do segundo disco longo, "Revolt", de 1999. A banda se separou no encerramento de 1999 (nota minha: mas retornou em 2002 e lançou mais dois discos), realizando seus shows de despedida no Reading/Leeds Festival, em agosto do mesmo ano (Jason Ankeny, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).

Biografia:

Uma das bandas pioneiras do incipiente cenário do country alternativo americano, a Silos nasceu por obra do vocalista, compositor e bandleader Walter Salas-Humara, que nasceu na Flórida, filho de pais exilados de Cuba. Salas-Humara começou a compor quando ainda cursava a Universidade da Flórida, em Gainesville, no começo dos anos 80 (onde também tocou numa versão inicial da Vulgar Boatmen). 

Em 1985, ele se mudou para a cidade de Nova Iorque e estava ansioso para gravar um disco. Começou então a trabalhar com o baixista e guitarrista Bob Rupe, outro nativo da Flórida. Intitulando-se Silos, a dupla gravou – com a ajuda de alguns amigos – um álbum de baixo custo, denominado "About Her Steps". Lançado por um pequeno selo independente nova-iorquino chamado Record Collect, o disco recebeu resenhas elogiosas, e o duo montou uma banda para excursionar e promovê-lo. 

Em 1987, a experimental banda estradeira entrou em estúdio para gravar "Cuba", que acrescentou tonalidades mais fortes e certeiras à mistura de jangle e fuzz do primeiro disco; "Cuba" também ganhou críticas favoráveis, e a banda assinou com um grande gravadora – RCA –, que lançou o seu terceiro registro, homônimo, em 1990. 

Um trabalho mais cuidadosamente elaborado, em comparação com seus antecessores, "The Silos" era admirável, mas ruim comercialmente, tendo vendido muito pouco para os padrões estipulados por grandes selos (embora tivesse rendido mais do que "Cuba" e "About Her Steps"). A RCA desistiu então da banda, o mesmo acontecendo com Rupe; Sala-Humara decidiu continuar sem o companheiro, e a etiqueta independente texana Watermelon Records lançou "Hasta La Victoria" em 1992. Após "Susan Across The Ocean", de 1994, a Silos pausou suas atividades durante alguns anos, porém, com "Heater", de 1998, solidificou-se com uma nova formação – Salas-Humara, Drew Glackin (baixista e guitarrista) e Konrad Meissner (percussionista) –, seguindo-se uma série de vigorosos discos, aí incluídos "Laser Beam Next Door", de 2001, e "When The Telephone Rings", de 2004 (Mark Deming, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).

Biografia:

Banda americana que defende os valores e a integridade do indie e do punk rock, a Hold Steady não receia abraçar o classicismo roqueiro, fundindo o vigor da banda bodegueira Replacements com os épicos cenários musicais de Bruce Springsteen, enquanto o vocalista Craig Finn despeja histórias tão apaixonadas quanto despretensiosamente literatas. O grupo conquistou admiradores fervorosamente dedicados, que embarcaram no estilo boêmio e popularesco do seu primeiro álbum, "Almost Killed Me", de 2004. Depois, no ambicioso "Teeth Dreams", de 2014, a banda refinou músicas e letras, ampliando a participação das guitarras. Já os discos "Open Door Policy", de 2021, e "The Price Of Progress", de 2023, esquadrinharam uma cultura alienada com atuação quase operística do grupo.

O vocalista e guitarrista Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) formou a Hold Steady depois de se mudar de Nova Iorque para 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 estreia pelo selo Vagrant. Depois de compor na estrada a maioria das músicas do seu quarto disco, a Hold Steady voltou ao Water Music, estúdio de John Agnello, para gravar "Stay Positive", o seu álbum mais bem produzido, lançado em julho de 2008 pelas gravadoras Vagrant e Rough Trade.

Em 2010, a banda anunciou a saída de Franz Nicolay. Logo após, no mesmo ano, foi lançado o seu quinto disco, "Heaven Is Whenever". Em 2012, a banda hibernou por um período breve, tempo suficiente para o vocalista Craif Finn lançar seu primeiro disco solo, "Clear Heart Full Eyes". Reagrupando-se em 2013, com novo guitarrista, Steve Selvidge, o revitalizado quinteto entrou em estúdio para gravar uma música para a trilha sonora da série televisiva Game Of Thrones, também lançada como single, em edição limitada, pela Record Store Day, em 2013. No início de 2014, o grupo anunciou o lançamento do seu sexto álbum, "Teeth Dreams", assim como o EP de covers chamado "Rags", cuja renda reverteria para as crianças mantidas pela fundação criada por Mike "Jersey Mike" Van Jura, antigo fã da Hold Steady, que, infelizmente, faleceu em 2012. Encerrada a turnê de divulgação do álbum, Finn começou a gravar o disco solo "Faith In The Future", mais íntimo e pessoal, que recebeu produção de Josh Kaufman e lançamento pela Partisan Records no final de 2015.

Finn realizou shows individuais durante o primeiro semestre do ano, dedicando-se depois à Hold Steady, sobretudo aos relançamentos de luxo de "Almost Killed Me" e "Separation Sunday". Permanecendo em atividade ao término de 2016, a banda (com Franz Nicolay de volta) comemorou o feito tocando em festivais e numa série de concertos com lotação esgotada no Brooklyn. 

Em agosto de 2019, a Hold Steady retornou com o disco de estúdio "Thrashing Thru The Passion", contendo algumas faixas lançadas anteriormente numa série de EPs, entre 2017 e 2019. Ainda em 2019, a banda entrou no estúdio com o produtor Josh Kaufman e o engenheiro de som D. James Goodwin, para gravar seu oitavo álbum. Após registrá-lo em duas sessões, o grupo começou a realizar shows comemorativos de finais de semanas em vários lugares de grandes cidades, incluindo uma apresentação de três dias em Londres, no mês de março de 2020, ocasião em que mostrou algumas músicas do novo disco. 

Depois disso, a pandemia de COVID-19 forçou seu retorno a Nova Iorque, com o consequente cancelamento dos shows restantes, e a edição do álbum ficou em banho maria. No encerramento de 2020, ocorreu o lançamento do single "Family Farm", seguindo-se, no início de 2021, mais dois singles: "Heavy Covenant" e "Spices", todos fornecendo uma mostra do álbum "Open Door Policy", emitido pelo próprio selo da banda, Positive Jams, em fevereiro de 2021. O nono álbum, "The Price Of Progress", lançado em março de 2023, é um dos discos mais suntuosos da carreira do grupo. Cordas e metais enriqueceram os arranjos, e Finn entoa dez histórias repletas de imagens vívidas e personagens convincentes. Quatro meses depois, a Hold Steady se uniu ao escritor Michael Hann para publicar o livro "The Gospel Of The Hold Steady: How A Resurrection Really Feels", trazendo textos da banda e também sobre a banda, com contribuições de seus fãs e alguns de seus autores prediletos (Kenyon Hopkin, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
