Local H
Zion, Illinois duo Local H have spent over three decades proving that two people can generate more sonic fury than most full bands, with guitarist Scott Lucas coaxing impossibly thick tones through a split bass-guitar rig. Their 1998 single 'Bound for the Floor' became an alt-rock radio staple, but albums like 'Pack Up the Cats' and 'Hey, Killer' demonstrate far more depth and creative ambition than any one-hit narrative suggests. Fiercely independent and relentlessly touring, Local H remain one of the great workhorses of American rock.
