No Name Face is the debut album by the rock band Lifehouse. It was released on October 31, 2000, and it produced the hit "Hanging by a Moment" which went on to be the most played song on radio that year. This album springboarded Lifehouse into the limelight, and produced many radio-friendly hits. Moreso than many of their rock contemporaries, No Name Face is primarily chorus-driven; each verse is merely a steady build up to a powerful (often electric guitar-driven) refrain.

Lead singer and songwriter Jason Wade originally formed Lifehouse as a church rock band, and often performed for church worship services before signing to the commercial record label DreamWorks.
