With two new rock No. 1s, a summer tour and a Gibson brand ambassadorship, Lzzy Hale and her band are busting out of the lockdown blues.
After nearly four years, Halestorm unleashed a new studio album,, a raucous, angst-ridden banger fueled by the intense feelings that frontwoman Lzzy Hale and her bandmates experienced during the extended lockdown of the coronavirus pandemic. The stomping title track and “The Steeple,” as well as the ballads “Terrible Things” and “Raise Your Horns,” address the chaotic state of the world and wanting to reclaim the musical identity that they and their fans have missed.
And now it’s completely flipped. We played Welcome to Rockville a few weeks ago, and it was probably a good 50/50 split. All of my sisters of scream were there, and it’s fun to see. I remember the early days of touring — I wouldn’t be thinking about the fact that I was a girl until somebody brought it up. “Oh yeah, I’m the only one around here. OK, cool. Let’s go do the rock show.”We started talking about the Explorerbird just before COVID-19 hit.
Obviously, you didn’t enjoy lockdown too much. You’re someone who really thrives when you’re out there amplifying yourself to an audience. Absolutely. None of us could help feeling that weight and almost helplessness, and trying not to completely give up hope on humanity. It’s like, “Are people inherently good? Are we just kind of doomed to keep repeating these mistakes over and over again and taking these huge leaps back in sane human evolution? What’s going on?” With “Terrible Things,” we felt like it was important to address that. There is some hope to that.
