Halestorm (Official Thread)

[Sharp Dressed Man]

Surprised that we do not have a Halestorm thread. I'm a big fan, I know Lynch is a fan....

Anyway, a short introduction:

Halestorm is an American hard rock band from Red Lion, Pennsylvania, consisting of lead vocalist and guitarist Lzzy Hale, her brother drummer and percussionist Arejay Hale, guitarist Joe Hottinger and bassist Josh Smith [1]. The group's self-titled debut album was released on April 28, 2009, through Atlantic Records. Their second album The Strange Case Of... was released on April 10, 2012

I have both their albums and listen to them regularly. As far as I'm concerned, Lzzy is one of the best young rock vocalists out there.

They have a new album coming out. It's called "Into the Wild Life" and will be released in Europe on April 3 and North America on April 7!

The details:

01. Scream

One of the better new bands of the past few years. I thought we had a thread for them as well.


Just about everything I've heard from them is something that I like. Whether it be a cover tune (which they have quite a few of), or an original track or a collaboration with another artist. Love LOVE Lzzy's vocals!

If I'm honest I don't get a LOT out of the bands regular songs BUT the vocalist Lizzy is absolutely amazing and has a lot of potential. I love their covers more than anything the band has done. This Heart cover is excellent!

Halestorm-All I Wanna Do Is make Love To You (Heart Cover)


Also when I saw them open Fore Godsmack looking at Lizzy's legs was the second best thing I've ever gotten out of the band! ***:

Really great band. Love this group.

 

[That 70s Guy]

One of the few "newer" bands that I like!

 

[Lynch]

Finally got a chance to listen to the new song the other night. Really like the new track. My daughter heard it on the radio and immediately called me to ask if I've heard it yet.

Sure hope to see Halestorm on tour sometime this year, would LOVE to see them live (missed them last year )

Caught them at Download festival in 2012. I remember we'd gone for something to eat and I heard this great female voice booming out whilst we were waiting in line, reminded me of Doro Pesch for some reason and immediately drew me in. Lizzy Hale can certainly perform live!


As a 'btw'...

Halestorm - not to be confused with the 'pirate metal' band Alestorm! I heard a radio interview with Lizzy a few years back and she touched on the confusion she has witnessed when people have mixed the two bands up

My girlfriend loves Halestorm and they have really grown on me since she first brought her CDs over. I'm thinking about picking up the new one when it drops.

I was originally resistant to them because they won a Grammy. Acceptance by the mainstream is never a good thing in my eyes lol

But as I say they have grown on me exponentially.

Another new song just dropped:

Not bad. Not as good as the first one, but not bad.

Thanks for posting it
