Halestorm + Black Veil Brides + Mothica

Halestorm are a band built on a blend of hard rock and Lzzy Hale’s distinctive voice. Lzzy, alongside fronting the band with her guitar skills and a voice that could melt ice, brings a dose of attitude that turns every song into a declaration of musical independence.

Picture Lzzy tearing into her guitar, joined by her brother Arejay on drums, Joe Hottinger on guitar and Josh Smith on bass, all helping build Halestorm’s signature sound. Their 2009 album was like a storm of energy, with songs such as «I Get Off» and «It’s Not You», but the interesting part is they didn’t stop there: in 2012 they released «The Strange Case Of…», an album that makes clear they haven’t come to play around, with tracks like «Love Bites (So Do I)» and «I Miss the Misery».

What’s fascinating about Halestorm goes beyond the notes and chords. Their lyrics often touch on empowerment and self-affirmation, something that resonates with a lot of people. They won a Grammy in 2013, and it’s no surprise, because the quality of their music is like an aged wine, it gets better with time.
