The Hold Steady...acoustic? That's odd. The hard-partying rock n roll juggernaut isn't exactly the kind of band known for toning things down (unless they're playing a high school), which makes their new EP all the more interesting. Live at Fingerprints, out April 17, showcases five songs recorded at the record store Fingerprints in Long Beach, California.

The EP costs a mere five bucks, but here's the rub: it's limited edition, and is only available from independent record stores that are part of the Think Indie consortium. Stickin' it to the Man!

The Hold Steady wrap up a U.S. tour tomorrow night in happenin' Lancaster, Pennsylvania, head to Europe in April, and play Sasquatch! and Bonnaroo this summer.
