The Hold Steady is often cited as being a lyrically heavy version of Bruce Springsteen and the E-street Band.
The first time I heard them I thought they sounded a bit sloppy, but after a few more listens they quickly grew on me and became a favorite of mine. Their songs are shockingly honest recounts of experiences they had growing up. They can be a bit gritty but very relate-able, especially if you know any one who never made it out of their hometown.
