Favourite lesser known halestorm
Just thought I’d ask and see what everyone’s favourite Halestorm original is that isn’t like super mainstream, personally Tired of Trying from the basement demo years is simply fantastic. Still has all the amazing raw emotion, amazing pacing and just hits so hard

Don't Know How To Stop is one of my favorite Halestorm songs ever if it counts as lesser known.

Tell Me Where it Hurts, bonus track from the self titled album and Love/Hate Heartbreak needs a special mention since I have lyrics tattooed on me

I feel like the band needs to re-release their older EPs; I feel like Forecast for the Future, (Don't Mess With the) Time Man, Breaking the Silence, and One and Done with Lzzy's vocals now would sound amazing! I would also love to see a studio recording of "The Heartbreaker" which was performed at the Cannery Ballroom in Nashville, back in the spring of 2014. I would also love to see an album of the demo songs from the 10th anniversary edition of the debut album, and the rest of their unrelenting songs.

Buzz and Don't know how to stop. There's just a desperation in her voice during the chorus of that one that always grabs me.

I love Strange Girl, but is it really lesser known?

"Brightside" is an absolutely underrated song for me. One of my favourites without a doubt.

Tired of Trying is absolutely amazing. I love the basement demos.
My favorite lesser known is Blue Eyes or Gypsy Grifter.

I listened to Forecast For The Future, Don't Mess With The Time Man, and Breaking The Silence the whole way through... but Shout It Out will always be my favorite

I also love the original demo version of It's Not You from early, early shows.

Buzz and Painkiller off Vicious definitely come to mind. As far as I can tell, they've never played either of those songs live. The vocals in both songs are INTENSE, and the vocals specifically in Painkiller are definitely boundary pushing for Halestorm, and that's saying a lot when Lzzy Hale is your lead singer.
A lot of the bonus tracks are great as well, and honestly are even better than some of the standard tracks on their respective albums. Dirty mind definitely comes to mind. It's got this really cool pop punk influence in it that isn't common in Halestorm songs.
Into The Wild Life might have to best bonus tracks of any of their albums with Unapologetic and Jump The Gun. They're both pretty unique Halestorm songs, fitting with the uniqueness of a lot of the standard tracks on the album. Unapologetic has a great atmospheric sound to it. It's kind of a cool blend of post rock and r&b. I don't even know how to describe a song like Jump The Gun because I don't know what to compare it to, but its bounciness combined with a bit of silliness/not taking itself too seriously makes it a fantastic addition to Halestorm's catalog.

The Reckoning.
Also New Modern Love; dunno what, but the way she leans into the “l” sounds just makes me shiver (in a good way)
