Average rating:

The pop/rock quartet Lifehouse features singer/songwriter Jason Wade, who originally tagged the band Blyss during the group's initial 1996 conception. After playing in various music scenes in Seattle and Portland, Wade brought Lifehouse to life in Los Angeles. Their thick sound was compared to Live and Matchbox Twenty, but Wade insisted Lifehouse was entirely original. They inked a deal with Dreamworks after years of gigging in L.A. and released their debut album, No Name Face, in fall 2000. The album became a hit behind the single "Hanging by a Moment," which was the most played radio track of 2001, and its success inspired the band to step back inside the studio. With Brendan O'Brien at the boards, Wade and drumming collaborator Rick Woolstenhulme recorded Stanley Climbfall throughout the spring and summer of 2002; it was released on Dreamworks the following September. Lifehouse returned in early 2005 with their self-titled third album. For the touring that followed its release, Wade and Woolstenhulme were joined by ex-AM Radio bassist/vocalist Bryce Soderberg. In June 2007 the group revisited their alternative rock roots with Who We Are.
