Lifehouse

Lifehouse is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California comprising Jason Wade (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano), Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. (drums, percussion), Bryce Soderberg (bass, vocals), and Steve Stout (lead guitar). The band came to mainstream prominence with their 2001 single "Hanging by a Moment," the lead single for their debut studio album, No Name Face (2000). The song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, won a Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 Single of the Year—having spent 20 weeks within the top ten and over a cumulative year on the former chart— and was named the best-performing single of that year despite not reaching the top position, making it the fourth song in the chart's history to do so.Following their debut, the band released six follow up albums: Stanley Climbfall (2002), their eponymous third album (2005), Who We Are (2007), Smoke and Mirrors (2010), Almería (2012), and Out of the Wasteland (2015). The albums were met with similar albeit trailing commercial success, spawning the singles "You and Me," "First Time," and "Whatever It Takes;" each became hits on the Mainstream Top 40, Adult Top 40, and Adult Contemporary charts, as well as the Billboard Hot 100. Their musical style is exemplary of the adult contemporary format, meaning Lifehouse's songs are heavily played at public, family-oriented venues such as supermarkets, shopping centers, and malls.
