Halestorm’s lyrics “I get off on you getting off on me,” are some pretty racy words. But sorry fellas sexy lead vocalist, Lzzy Hale wasn’t talking about the dirty deed. “On that song,” says Lzzy, “I reach outside of myself and explore sexuality. It also has this crazy metaphor of me getting off on the crowd getting off on me.”
Halestorm includes: guitarist Joe Hottinger, bassist Josh Smith, drummer Arejay Hale and singer/guitarist Lzzy Hale. Brother, Arejay and sister, Lzzy formed Halestorm back in 1998. The band began showcasing for different record labels in 2005, as Lzzy explains, “We were doing a show at Don Hill’s in NYC. Don Hill himself loved the show and asked us to come back on a regular basis to help us build a buzz in the area. It was snowing hard in New York on the coldest night of the year when Atlantic Records first saw us perform. From there it was only a matter of time until we solidified our relationship, and put ink to paper.”
What’s next for Halestorm? “This album has been a long time coming,” says Lzzy. “There’s been a lot of dirty work that went into making it. Creatively, we went to rock’n'roll college through the experience. It was crazy, raw, down and dirty. Our blood, sweat, and tears went into this thing.”
