HALESTORM Answers PLAYBOY Centerfold Questionnaire

September 30, 2015

Louder Noise has posted a new video with HALESTORM in which they answer questions like "Biggest turn-on", "Favorite TV show" and "Guilty pleasure" from the Playboy centerfold questionnaire. Check it out below.

HALESTORM singer Lzzy Hale said in an interview that the band didn't set out to make a lighter album with "Into The Wild Life" — even though it worked out that way. Hale explained to May The Rock Be With You: "When we were talking about making songs heavier, it didn't necessarily mean stacks of Mesa Boogies and a lot of crunch and layers and walls of guitars."

"And everyone keeps coming up to us that has heard the new record and says, 'Oh my gosh, this is such a leap from your last record,' and to us, 'cause we've just been living it, it's like, 'Oh no, it's not!'"

Hale also spoke about choosing a producer, Jay Joyce, who was not especially known for rock records. She explained: "He’s like this cool, chain-smoking, creative ball of energy, and his bread and butter — because of circumstance and the area that he's in Nashville — his bread and butter has been a lot of country artists and a lot of alternative. I believe we were the first hard rock band that he's recorded, and so it was just a really neat perspective to have, having somebody that loves rock and roll that hadn't really had the opportunity to show that."

"Into The Wild Life" debuted at No. 5 on The Billboard 200 album chart, selling 56,000 copies in its first week of release — more than double the first week haul of the band's previous effort, 2012's Grammy-winning "The Strange Case Of…"
