The Hold Steady in 'Game of Thrones' soundtrack

The Hold Steady in 'Game of Thrones' soundtrack

The Hold Steady have been tapped to perform a song to be featured in the upcoming third season of HBO's hit tv series "Game of Thrones".

The track is called "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" and it's not5 a composition by the band: lyrics, indeed, were written by "Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin, while music is by Ramin Djawadi, who does the music for the show.

"The Bear and the Maiden Fair" will be released on a 7" on Record Store Day (April 20), backed by the new track "Criminal Fingers".

"We wanted our rendition [of 'The Bear and the Maiden Fair'] to be bawdy and a little sloppy - drunken musicians getting up on the table and jamming while the rowdy party continues around them", commented David Benioff and Dan Weiss, "Game of Thrones" showrunners. "There was no one better for the job than the Hold Steady".
