Emerging from Red Lion, Pennsylvania, Halestorm has carved out a formidable reputation as a leading light in modern hard rock. Since forming in 1997, the quartet – comprising the phenomenal Lzzy Hale (vocals, guitar), Joe Hottinger (guitar), Josh Smith (bass), and Arejay Hale (drums) – have built a career on relentless touring, exceptional musicianship, and a refusal to compromise their authentic sound. Their self-titled debut album in 2009 marked their arrival, but it was their 2012 release, The Strange Case Of…, that truly propelled them into the mainstream consciousness. This critically acclaimed album spawned massive hits such as “Love Bites (So Do I),” which earned them a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, solidifying their status as serious contenders.

Subsequent albums, including Into the Wild Life (2015), Vicious (2018), and their latest offering, Back from the Dead (2022), have seen Halestorm continually evolve while staying true to their hard rock roots. They’ve masterfully blended melodic sensibilities with powerful, often gritty, lyrical themes that resonate deeply with their audience.
