The group has released four albums on Atlantic: "Halestorm" (2009), "The Strange Case Of..." (2012), "Into the Wild Life" (2015), and "Vicious" (2018); won a Grammy for "Love Bites (So Do I)", and charted three #1 singles on Mainstream Rock. The group has been consistently active, writing and performing original music since the mid-1990's and becoming increasingly successful. They have achieved international airplay, having been featured on the Lord Litter show in Germany. The band has been the featured artist, appearing on the cover of Pennsylvania Musician magazine three times (August 1999, March 2000, and February 2003).

The band toured nationally across the United States from January to March 2006 on the Winterfresh Sno-Core Tour with Seether, Shinedown, and Flyleaf. There were about 23 shows in that tour, and the band has performed about 200 times per year since 1997.

Siblings Arejay and Elizabeth "Lzzy" Hale have been actively writing and performing original music since 1997 when they were 10 and 13 years old, respectively. Both brother and sister started learning piano at the age of 5; Lzzy later progressed to a keytar and Arejay to the drums. Lzzy took guitar lessons at 16. The teen siblings released an EP titled Don't Mess With the Time Man in 2000. In Halestorm's earliest incarnation, Lzzy and Arejay's father played bass before Josh Smith joined the group in 2004. Guitarist Joe Hottinger joined in 2003.
The group signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records on June 28, 2005 and released a live EP titled One and Done. The EP, now out of print, featured an early live version of "It's Not You." Their self-titled debut album was released on April 28, 2009. The song "I Get Off" served as the album's lead single and has gained heavy radio play. Both the song and video for their second single, "It's Not You", were released in late November 2009. In early 2010, the band released a promotional music video for their song "Love/Hate Heartbreak". "Familiar Taste of Poison", was released in 2010.The official music video was released on August 10, 2010.

Lzzy Hale's use of Gibson guitars is well known; models she plays includes the Tribal Flying V, Gibson Explorer, Les Paul Custom, Firebird and the Joan Jett Signature Melody Maker.[5] Arejay Hale was featured in the June 2010 issue of Modern Drummer magazine, and is endorsed by Ludwig Drums, Zildjian Cymbals and Pro-Mark Drumsticks.

Halestorm is well known for their near non-stop touring, often performing as many as 250 shows a year.Since 2006 they have toured with many hard rock and heavy metal acts including Chevelle, Seether, Staind, Papa Roach, Trapt, Three Days Grace, Theory of a Deadman, Buckcherry, Disturbed, Shinedown, Megadeth, and Heaven & Hell.

Halestorm appeared on the first annual Rockstar Energy drink Uproar Festival with headliners Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold; plus Stone Sour, Hellyeah, Hail the Villain, Airbourne and New Medicine.[8] In October 2010 Halestorm will be making their first trip to Japan to participate in the 2010 Loud Park Festival. Halestorm will embark on the 2010 Taste of Chaos tour alongside headliners, Disturbed, as well as support acts, Papa Roach, and Buckcherry.

On November 16, 2010 Halestorm released a live CD/DVD entitled Live in Philly 2010, which was recorded at The TLA in Philadelphia in early 2010. On March 22, 2011, Halestorm released an EP called ReAnimate containing covers of songs of different genres, including "Out Ta Get Me" by Guns N' Roses, "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga, and the first single "Slave to the Grind" by Skid Row.

On January 24, 2012, Halestorm released the EP Hello, It's Mz. Hyde, a sneak preview of four songs from their upcoming studio album. Their second full length album, The Strange Case Of... was released on April 10, 2012 in the US, April 9 in the UK, and April 17 in Italy.

On February 10, 2013, Halestorm won Grammy for best rock/metal performance for their song Love Bites (so do I).

Halestorm Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We could just go home right now
Or maybe we could stick around
For just one more drink, oh yeah
Get another bottle out
Lets shoot the shit
Sit back down
For just one more drink, oh yeah

Here's to us, here's to love
All the times that we fucked up
Here's to you, fill the glass
'Cause the last few days have kicked my ass
So lets give 'em hell
Wish everybody well, here's to us, here's to us

Stuck it out this far together
Put our dreams through the shredder
Let's toast 'cause things got better
And everything could change like that
And all these years go by so fast
But nothing lasts forever

Here's to us, here's to love
All the times, that we messed up
Here's to you, fill the glass
'Cause the last few nights have kicked my ass
If they give ya hell
Tell em to go fuck themselves, here's to us, here's to us

Here's to all that we kissed
And to all that we missed
To the biggest mistakes
That we just wouldn't trade
To us breaking up
Without us breaking down
To whatever's comin' our way

Here's to us, here's to love
All the times that we fucked up
Here's to you, fill the glass
'Cause the last few days have kicked my ass
So lets give 'em hell
Wish everybody well

Here's to us, here's to love
All the times, that we messed up
Here's to you, fill the glass
'Cause the last few nights have kicked my ass
If they give ya hell
Tell em to go fuck themselves, here's to us, here's to us (Go fuck themselves)
Here's to us, here's to us
Here's to us, here's to us
Here's to us, here's to love
Here's to us, wish everybody well

Here's to us, here's to love
Here's to us, here's to us

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song suggest that the party is over and it's time to go home, but the group wants to stick around for "just one more drink." The lyrics become more significant as the song progresses, celebrating the group's togetherness and the hard times they've overcome.

The chorus repeats the phrase "here's to us," with the lines "here's to love," "all the times that we messed up," and "fill the glass, 'cause the last few days have kicked my ass." The song acknowledges that life is difficult, that everyone makes mistakes, and that it's important to celebrate the good times with the people who matter most.

The bridge dives deeper into the band's collective story, with lines referencing putting their dreams through the shredder, but still being together after all these years. The song acknowledges that life is complicated, but that nothing lasts forever, so it's important to enjoy the moment while you can.

Overall, "Here's to Us" is an anthemic celebration of life's struggles, and the love and togetherness that help us overcome them.

Line by Line Meaning

We could just go home right now
We have the option to leave, but we're choosing to stay

Or maybe we could stick around
Instead of leaving, let's stay a while

For just one more drink, oh yeah
Let's have one more drink and enjoy each other's company

Get another bottle out
Let's continue the celebration with more alcohol

Lets shoot the shit
Let's chat and talk about anything and everything

Sit back down
Get comfortable and enjoy the moment

Here's to us, here's to love
Let's raise a glass to ourselves and the love we share

All the times that we fucked up
Despite our mistakes and failures, we're still together

Here's to you, fill the glass
Let's give a toast to you and your contribution to our relationship

'Cause the last few days have kicked my ass
Recent days have been difficult, so let's lift each other up

So lets give 'em hell
Let's take on any challenges that come our way

Wish everybody well
Let's not hold grudges or ill will toward others

Stuck it out this far together
We've come a long way as a couple, and we're still going strong

Put our dreams through the shredder
We've faced setbacks and obstacles, but we kept going

Let's toast 'cause things got better
Despite difficulties, we've grown and improved together

And everything could change like that
Life is unpredictable and things can change quickly

And all these years go by so fast
Time seems to fly by as we continue our journey together

But nothing lasts forever
Everything is temporary, but we'll enjoy this moment while it lasts

Here's to all that we kissed
Let's celebrate all of the good times we've shared together

And to all that we missed
We acknowledge that we've had some rough patches and missed opportunities

To the biggest mistakes
We've made some big mistakes, but we've learned from them

That we just wouldn't trade
Despite regrets, we don't regret our experiences and growth

To us breaking up
We've been through tough times, including possible breakups

Without us breaking down
We've persevered through hard times without giving up

To whatever's comin' our way
We're ready to face the future, whatever it may bring

If they give ya hell
If anyone tries to bring us down or criticize our relationship

Tell em to go fuck themselves
We won't tolerate negativity and will defend our relationship

Here's to us, here's to us
We raise another toast to ourselves and our love

Go fuck themselves
We won't let anyone bring us down or interfere with our relationship

Wish everybody well
We don't hold any grudges and hope for the best for everyone

Here is the meaning to this song as explained by Lzzy Hale - We wrote this song literally as our personal anthem," she said. "We've been through a lot together as a band, and we've learned to celebrate the low times as well as the highs. It's about toughin' out and respecting the journey for us, and that's how we have kept it together as a foursome for 10 years! Here's to us!"

I find it sad that people are saying this is purely pop. It just shows how limited people's knowledge of music is. This song by Halestorm is either A) Soft Rock or B) Rock Pop, both of which are sub categories of rock. If you want pop things go listen to Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift, the latter of whom I have no clue why she's still classified as country

Most bands and musicians are simply afraid that cursing will give them a bad reputation. Halestorm are just a big middle finger to music standards set by recording studios. Raw emotions and anarchy are simply the reasons why I love them. Glee didn't do it enough justice IMO.

Ryan's baby brother, Aidan, drives his truck now. And Halestorm still comes on a lot. Aidan believes it's Ryan, riding shotgun and controlling the music.
