(NASHVILLE, TN) September 3, 2002—Sparrow Records has partnered with Dreamworks to issue the double-platinum selling group Lifehouse’s sophomore album Stanley Climbfall to the CBA marketplace available September 17th. This release will follow the band’s highly successful debut album No Name Face, which featured “Hanging By A Moment,” the Billboard Modern Rock #1 hit and most-played radio track of 2001 as well as #1 for 6 weeks at Modern Rock radio and scanned more than 2.3 million units.

"Sparrow Records is extremely honored to represent DreamWorks's artist ‘Lifehouse’ to the CBA market,” states Peter York, Sparrow Records President. “We have championed this band and their music since we first heard them. We consider this an important opportunity. We will do everything to insure this great music gets into the hands of as many people as possible. Lifehouse is a band with something significant to say to the world and we are privileged to support them in this way."

The first radio single “Spin” has already received significant airplay on Christian Hit Radio (CHR) and Rock radio as well as charting on multiple mainstream radio formats such as R&R’s #1 Most Added Single at Alternative Radio and #2 Most Added Single at Rock Radio. The single has been serviced to Christian radio stations and will be going for adds immediately.

“Christian radio stations were already exchanging the single on-line before the song was even serviced,” says Grant Hubbard, Sparrow Records VP, National Promotions. “The demand for Lifehouse has been strong. And extensive promotional push has been developed to support this demand at Christian radio.”

Made up of singer-songwriter-guitarist Jason Wade, bassist Sergio Andrade and drummer Rick Woolstenhuln, Lifehouse started playing together as a praise and worship band for the Malibu Vineyard church where they were discovered by Dreamworks’ Michael Ostin, who signed them to the label. Wade’s spiritual lyrics can also be traced back to spending a few years of his childhood in Hong Kong where his parents served as missionaries.

“I’m really in a good place now,” states Wade. “I’m writing more storyteller songs, about how I view certain situations I’ve been in or witnessed or my friends have been in. Most of the stuff is not written out of conflict—it’s really positive.”

Stanley Climbfall partners the Los Angeles-based band back up with No Name Face producer, Ron Aniello, and boast pop hooks and grunge varieties that have won Lifehouse fans the world over.

The albums title reflects Wade’s signature approach to lyrics. “Everyone has their ups and downs,” states Wade. “And after a lot of wordplay a song called ‘Stand, Climb, Fall’ was transformed into an everyday character named Stanley Climbfall who goes through those kinds of changes.”
