<\/a>By Geoffrey Huchel<\/strong><\/p>\nLos Angeles based rock band Lifehouse has been topping the charts since they came into prominence in 2001, with their hit single \u201cHanging By A Moment\u201d, from their debut album, No Name Face. Since their debut the band has sold over 15 million albums worldwide, releasing a total of 7 albums and gaining a loyal fan base.<\/p>\n
Lifehouse had its share of changes since its start and there have been several shifts among band members. Currently, the band consists of members Jason Wade (lead vocals, guitars), Rick Woolstenhulme, Jr. (drums, percussion) and Bryce Soderberg (bass, vocals). The band\u2019s original name was called Blyss, which was changed to Lifehouse, not long after the group recorded songs for No Name Face. Band frontman and co-founder Wade chose the name Lifehouse because most of the record was about his life and life\u2019s circumstances and, not just his, but other people\u2019s lives as well.<\/p>\n
No Name Face met significant success and launched the band into the limelight. Their first hit single, \u201cHanging By A Moment\u201d, was released on October 31, 2000 and went on to be the most played song on the radio the following year.
\nThe album also produced two more hit singles, \u201cSick Cycle Carousel\u201d and \u201cBreathing\u201d. Upon the release of the album, the band went on an extensive tour and then re-entered the studio o record their next album, Stanley Climbfall, releasing the singles, \u201cSpin\u201d and \u201cTake Me Away\u201d, which were overshadowed by the band\u2019s previous album\u2019s success. Their next album, simply called Lifehouse, features one of their most popular and successful songs, \u201cYou and Me\u201d. The song has gained enormous radio play and appears on the soundtrack for the hit TV series SMALLVILLE. The album also features its second single, \u201cBlind\u201d.<\/p>\n
Their fourth album, Who We Are was released in mid-2006 and had a little more of an edge compared to their previous releases. Many of the band\u2019s most recognizable songs were produced from this album, including the pop rock love song, \u201cFirst Time\u201d, which peaked at No, 3 on the Hot Adult Top 40 Charts, \u201cWhatever It Takes\u201d and \u201cBroken\u201d, which was featured on the TV shows GREY\u2019S ANATOMY, CRIMINAL MINDS, ONE TREE HILL, and ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Their next album, Smoke and Mirrors was released on March 2, 2010. The first single, \u201cHalfway Gone\u201d, was another hit for the band. The band followed-up with two more albums, 2012\u2019s Almeira and 2015\u2019s Out Of The Wasteland. In 2017 they released a Greatest Hits album, including the songs \u201cFalling In\u201d and \u201cAll In\u201d.<\/p>\n
The band recorded many covers including an acoustic rendition of George Harrison\u2019s \u201cSomething\u201d, the Rolling Stones\u2019 \u201cBeast of Burden\u201d, saying they wanted to pay homage to the \u201cgodfathers of rock\u201d and the Keane single, \u201cSomewhere Only We Know\u201d, which is one of my all-time favorite songs.<\/p>\n
The band headlined a European tour, which commenced on September 15, 2015 in Amsterdam. In 2017, Lifehouse toured with Switchfoot throughout the United States, with one show in Toronto. Also in 2017 Jason Wade teamed up with Switchfoot\u2019s Jon Foreman, to help raise funds for Houston\u2019s Hurricane Harvey victims through the track called \u201cShine Like Gold\u201d.<\/p>\n
