@Lifehouse Rocks Out on “Hurricane”

LIFEHOUSE, “Hurricane”

Now this is the kind of Lifehouse song I’ve been waiting for since their 2009 Smoke & Mirrors album!  The now-trio kills it with “Hurricane”, which has been released independently in advance of their 7th album apparently titled Out Of The Wasteland.  It’s hard to believe Lifehouse goes back almost 15 years with one of my favourite songs ever “Hanging By A Moment”.  They’ve gone through some stylistic changes but have always remained the raw rockers of that song at heart.  From their ballads like “Everything” and “You And Me” through to the bluesy country blast of a song like “Right Back Home”, the band’s versatility and Jason Wade’s gritty voice are key to drawing you in.  “Hurricane” is rousing rock in the same way that you likely found “Spin” and “Halfway Gone”.  I’m hoping Lifehouse will take a tour up to my city (Toronto, and I don’t think they’ve played here for years, the closest being Windsor) so that I can finally see their live show.  In the meantime check out the video for “Hurricane” below.
