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 launched Lifehouse into the limelight, and produced many radio-friendly hits. More 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.

[edit] Commercial success

The album has been certified double-Platinum by the RIAA.^[1] Due to the tremendous success of "Hanging By A Moment" in the United States, the song was able to crossover to overseas, especially that of Europe and Asia. Amidst pop artists like Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Janet Jackson, and Destiny's Child that emerged successful in 2001, Lifehouse was able to put out a substantial hit album that did not concern the mainstream pop market.
