Lifehouse — Where to Listen on the Radio

Lifehouse is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, composed of Jason Wade (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano), Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. (drums, percussion), Bryce Soderberg (bass, vocals), and Steve Stout (lead guitar). The band came to mainstream prominence with their 2000 single "Hanging by a Moment", which led their debut studio album, No Name Face (2000). The song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, won a Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 Single of the Year—having spent 20 weeks within the top ten and over a cumulative year on the chart—and was named the best-performing single of 2001 despite not reaching the top position, making it the fourth song in the chart's history to do so.

The band has released six subsequent albums—Stanley Climbfall (2002), their eponymous third album (2005), Who We Are (2007), Smoke and Mirrors (2010), Almería (2012), and Out of the Wasteland (2015). Each were met with similar albeit trailing commercial success, spawning the singles "You and Me", "First Time", and "Whatever It Takes"—each became hits on the Mainstream Top 40, Adult Top 40, and Adult Contemporary charts, as well as the Billboard Hot 100.

AllMusic characterizes the band's sound as a "commercial blend" of pop rock-style melody and "throaty post-grunge vocals". Lifehouse is exemplary of the adult contemporary format, meaning the band's songs are often played at public, family-oriented retail venues including supermarkets, convention centers, and malls.
