Each year, critics at the Chicago Tribune name a “Chicagoan of the Year.” The 2008 winner for music was Local H.
Local H started as hard-rock duo formed by Scott Lucas (vocals/guitar/bass) and Joe Daniels (drums). The two began in 1987 at their mainline high school in Zion. After failed attempts at recruiting a bassist, Lucas added bass pickups to his electric guitar.
Local H’s 1995 debut Ham Fisted was released to mediocre reviews. Their 1996 follow-up As Good as Dead was certified gold and contained the hits “Bound for the Floor” and “Eddie Vedder.” It was better received by critics, as was 1998’s Pack Up the Cats, which spawned the single “All the Kids Are Right.” Unfortunately, their label Polygram merged with Universal, and the album was all but forgotten in transition.
Daniels left in 1999. Lucas recruited recent Triplefastaction drummer Brian St. Clair later that year. St. Clair was a drum tech for Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick. Lucas and St. Clair released their first album together, Here Comes the Zoo, in 2002 on Palm Pictures. The No Fun EP came next in 2003, and Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles? followed in 2004 to favorable reviews.
Local H garnered good publicity for a cover of the Britney Spears hit “Toxic”. The cover was available on the band’s web site and is the last track on the otherwise live album Alive ‘05, issued in 2005. “Toxic” has been performed at recent concerts.

AGAD is an album that I can listen to infinitely into the future. I'm so glad they're considered a top band out of Illinois since that music scene is so fertile. http://www.ranker.com/list/alltime-best-bands-from-illinois/clark-benson

I personally find Pack Up The Cats better than As Good As Dead. AGAD is still an amazing album.

You guys fucking rock. As Good as Dead and beyond are just pure brilliance. Looking forward to the next album, when ever that is.

"All The Kids Are Right" might really be one of the best songs ever, but "High-Fiving MF" is better than it. But hey, both are amazing. Add "BMW Man" to that. I love this stuff.

Wow... "All The Kids Are Right" is amazing... How is it not more popular than BFTF? Much more catchier. Great choice for a single.
