Artist Biography
The pop/rock quartet Lifehouse featured singer/songwriter Jason Wade, who originally tagged the band Blyss during the group's conception in 1996. After playing in various music scenes in Seattle and Portland, Wade brought Lifehouse to life in Los Angeles.
Their thick sound was compared to Live and Matchbox Twenty, but Wade insisted Lifehouse was entirely original. He soon became recognized for his thought-provoking lyrics and deep vocals.
They inked a deal with Dreamworks after years of gigging in L.A., and released their debut album No Name Face in fall 2000. The album became a hit behind the single Hanging By a Moment, which was the most played radio track of 2001, and its success inspired the band to step back inside the studio.
With Brendan O'Brien at the boards, Wade and drumming collaborator Rick Woolstenhulme they recorded Stanley Climbfall throughout the spring and summer of 2002. It was released with Dreamworks the following September.
