Hear Lifehouse's New Album 'Out Of The Wasteland' Ahead Of Release [Listen]
By Holly Williams in Music / Festivals on 15 June 2015
The album comes to the UK very soon.
With an extensive US tour beginning this week and new European dates announced, Lifehouse are soon to release their seventh studio album 'Out Of The Wasteland' in the UK - but if you can't wait a week longer, you can get a sneaky first listen right here exclusively on contactmusic.com.
There's a lot to look forward to with this new song collection. We say 'collection' because it's more of a patchwork of different themes reflecting several eras of the Los Angeles band.

By Alex Lai in Music Reviews on 15 June 2011
Originally scheduled to take place in February, Los Angeles rockers Lifehouse return to Manchester after an absence of five years in which they've gone to release their fifth album. The band's sole UK hit charted at 21 a decade ago, so the fact that they can headline a venue with a four-figure capacity is nothing to be sneered at.
