Halestorm have a new album called Into the Wildlife coming out April 7th. Their first single is called Apocalyptic.
I love this song. I can't wait until this album comes out.

It doesn't sound much different than anything on the last album. However, I do like the chorus. I'm sure it'll do very well on Active.

Can't say I've ever even come close to liking a Halestorm song, and this is no exception. Don't think I'll ever get the appeal.

The late great Pen coined the phrase Hinderella to describe them. Pretty accurate, tbh.

Funny, but the best songs I liked from them were the AC/Dc and Pat Benatar covers. BTW, your link is jacked up.

Looks like Warner got a C&D letter out toot sweet. Pity; I wanted to hear it, to see where they're going next.
For all the touring they do, and the decent-sized records (and recording/promo budgets) they've had, Halestorm should be a whole lot bigger. They've got the pieces in place. I just don't see much/any focus in their overall plan. Are they trying to be headbangers, or a heavier HotAC act ("Here's to Us" from the show-I've-never-seen Glee, or "Bet You Wish You Had Me Back"), or what? "All things to all people" just serves to alienate a sizable fraction of any potential fanbase, IMO.

i'm gonna say what everyone is thinking about them taking down the link. Screw Warner and their selfishness. It's called promotion to get your records sold.

You think that's high? How bout mainstream's #21 debut? Poised to be the next "Heaven Knows". Just heard it. Love it! Rock N Roll off to a great start in 2015. Last year Pretty Reckless, this year looks to be Halestorm's comeback!

How many weeks will this get at nr 1? I'll say about 3-4 Good song too, i hope some of the softer songs has a breakthrough in the CHR radio too, this band deserves it.

I heard this for the first time. It's alright, the lyrics are a bit on the bad side, though. I also feel like ranking them because.
I Get Off: C It's Not You: C+ Bet U Wish U Had Me Back: B- Familiar Taste of Poison: C Love Bites (So Do I): B I Miss the Misery: B+ Freak Like Me: C Here's to Us: C+ Mz. Hyde: C- Apocalyptic: B-

Never been a big fan of Halestorm. It's not because of Lzzy Hale's voice cause she's a fantastic singer but it's mainly the lyrics being horrible and the songs sounding generic. As for this song, it's not hooking me and sounds really classic. This could easily pass as a Lita Ford or a Joan Jett song.
I Get Off: D It's Not You: C Bet U Wish U Had Me Back: C- Familiar Taste of Poison: C+ Love Bites (So Do I): B- I Miss the Misery: D Freak Like Me: D+ Here's to Us: C Mz. Hyde: B- Apocalyptic: C

I actually quite like this, the guitar part is quite good. Reminds me of Pat Benetar a bit, and that ain't a bad thing.

Women in Rock almost always get A's across the board, but I havn't heard some of her songs for a while, so I'll see how they have held up since I heard them last. I'm pretty sure I'll be the one rating her songs the highest, cuz this is my brand of Hard Rock. I like other songs on her albums. Too many to mention, so I just stick with what's up for grading.
I Get Off: A First one is always a keeper. Sounds as fresh as in 2009
It's Not You: B+ I can never get enough cowbell.
Bet U Wish U Had Me Back: A RnR Power Ballads are the best.
Familiar Taste of Poison: A+ I still get the Marilyn Manson "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This" chills from that guitar intro.
Love Bites (So Do I): B+ had this been a Def Leppard remake; I woulda gave it an A
I Miss the Misery: A+ The ohohs made the song gold.
Freak Like Me: B- Good song but lacked a bit of melody for me.
Here's to Us: A- 90s rock style.
Mz. Hyde: A Love the eerie vibe of the song.
Apocalyptic: A- Based on the fact that it's Halestorm song, but havn't heard it enough to give it an A; which I probobly will eventually.

The instrumentation is just kind of a hodgepodge of noise, but the song itself is extremely good.
I love Halestorm so I'll do the rating thing: I Get Off: A It's Not You: A Bet U Wish U Had Me Back: B Familiar Taste of Poison: A+ Love Bites (So Do I) A+ I Miss The Misery: A+ Freak Like Me: B- Here's To Us: B- Mz. Hyde: A Apocalyptic: A-

They have some great songs (I Miss the Misery, Here's to Us), but I'm not a big fan of them.
