Lzzy Hale has the look of a catwalk model and the voice of an avenging angel – it’s a killer combination guaranteed to transform this particular rock show into something very special indeed.

Soaring vocals, a softer side and the on-stage banter to boot means there’s so much that’s alluring about the face of Halestorm – a band that’s come so very far in such a short space of time.

It was only earlier this year that the quartet was opening up for fellow Americans Shinedown – fast forward a few months and the fast-rising pop metallers have become a headline draw in their own right.

Hale, of course, has the x factor to keep the fans coming. Pouting, passionate and with a phenomenal voice that packs some serious punch, the singer has the crowd wrapped round her little finger from the off.

Whether belting out the hard rock angst of 'It’s Not You' and 'Freak Like Me' or going solo with the touching piano ballad 'Break In', Mz Hale boasts the full package.

Ably supported by a band – including her drummer brother – plucked straight from the latest catalogue of pretty boy musos this is one rock chick destined for a stellar future.

Halestorm have it all – the songs, the looks and the backing of one of the biggest specialist rock labels in the world. So what could possibly go wrong? Ask us again when the call comes for Lzzy to ditch her band mates and pursue a solo career with millions of dollars up for grabs.
