Hold Steady releasing 'Positive' bonus disc

Extra songs available on limited editions





NEW YORK -- The Hold Steady had tacked on a bonus disc to limited editions of its upcoming Vagrant album, "Stay Positive," due July 17. The disc sports the songs "Ask Her for Aderall," "Cheyenne Sunrise" and "Two Handed Handshake."
"Ask Her for Aderall" also will appear as a bonus on the vinyl edition of "Stay Positive." According to the band's publicist, these bonus cuts will be available only on the physical versions of the album.
For fans who can't wait until next month to hear "Stay Positive," the set is streaming from the Hold Steady's MySpace site and will be available exclusively via iTunes for a month starting Tuesday. The first single, "Sequestered in Memphis," is available for sale there now.
The Hold Steady has three U.S. shows on tap at the end of the month before heading over to the United Kingdom for festival and headlining dates. A proper North American tour begins July 17 in Cleveland.
