After seeing their cheesy pretty boy photos on the CD jacket, I didn't
want to like Lifehouse. Too bad I'm a sap for the "I'm lost, I miss you,
let me find my way" stuff. Lifehouse provides the sound you can play while
sitting alone in your room wondering about the one that got away, or while
in a period of reflection during a long drive. They fit somewhere in between
the Goo Goo Dolls and Elliott Smith (the dude from the Good Will Hunting
soundtrack). There's nothing mind-blowing about this CD. The guitar riffs
are nothing very original and the drums are as simple as it gets and a
lot of the CD sounds similar, but Jason Wade's vocals are soothing and
believable.

Lifehouse
Bio[+]The radio-friendly power pop of Lifehouse, which would evetually help them become one of the best-selling bands of the new millenium, first began to take shape in the Los Angeles suburb of Augoura Hills in 1996. Neighbors Josh Wade (vocals /guitar) and Sergio Andrade began playing under the name Blyss, eventually renaming the band Lifehouse and setting out for the Northwest. After playing in and around both Portland and Seattle, the band, including drummer Rick Woolstenhulme, returned to Los Angeles. The years of gigging finally payed off in 2000, when the band was signed to Dreamworks Records and released their debut, No Name Face. The album, powered by what would become the most played radio track of the year, “Hanging By a Moment,” would eventually go double-platinum and earn the band tours with artists like Pearl Jam and Matchbox Twenty. Lifehouse’s second album, Stanley Climbfall, was released in 2002.
