Halestorm: There's a Hale storm a commin, to your town!

Interview conducted in June 2009

Halestorm formed in York, Pennsylvania in 1998 while in middle school, Lzzy Hale (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and her brother Arejay Hale (drums, percussion), which now includes Joe Hottinger (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Josh Smith (bass, backing vocals). Lzzy grew up no more than a stones throw away from another famous Pennsylvanian, Taylor Swift, as her family probably bought a few trees from Swift family's Christmas Tree Farm over the years. That's where the similarities end. Halestom is a hard rock band that was singed to Atlantic Records a few years ago and has just released (April 2009) their first self-titled major label record.
I had lined up an interview with Lzzy at Rock on the Range (ROTR) in Columbus, Ohio but because of the madness of festival shows, I only had time to get a picture and a kiss on the cheek. The phrase, "call me" was uttered and I didn't think much of it; sometimes you just miss a great interview, luck of the draw man. It was about a week later that I got the confirmation that I would be doing a phone interview with her while in the midst of some tour dates. Among other things like cooking, i.e. crock pot donuts and where to find polenta on the road, this is what we talked about.
