Local H: Whatever Happened to the band behind bound for the floor

[@jakebeaudrie]

They still tour and do well and have released some of their best records ever in the last 5 years.

[@stevend2666]

I wish you would have dove into their albums after here comes the zoo because these guys have consistently put out great records and have been severely underrated throughout their career. Scott Lucas is a very underrated lyricist in my opinion

[@blackphillip8486]

I agree, imo they've never released a bad album. Far from it.

[@mikesamack1816]

Totally agree, Scott is very underrated

[@dougkuhns]

Their live show is amazing as well.

[@wesleysteeleiv]

@@dougkuhns My X-girlfriend from back in 2003 use to say Rage Against The Machine put on the best live show ever. I took her to see Local H (with Detachment Kit opening) in Tampa at The Twilight. After the show was over she told me Local H puts on the best live show ever. And then we went and saw them 2 days later at Wills Pub in Orlando. I always go to multiple shows when they come down here. She said it was Scott's "energy" on stage and off it. He crowd surfed at Twilight while playing. He walked through the crowd at Wills while playing. Best show on earth.

[@irish80-93]

I've seen Pink Floyd Divison Bell and Roger Waters The Wall & Us Them tours ...I have also seen Local H 6 times through the years including 20 anv of Good as Dead and Pack Up Cats played in entirely and I'm telling you besides Floyd...Local H is my favorite live band i have ever seen no matter if Joe, Brian,Ryan are the drummer they kill it every time ...and Scott is quiet but a very nice guy who loves his fans

[@TheeDavidDee]

Back in 1996, I can still remember where I was when I first heard Bound For The Floor. For those of us that were still recovering from Kurt Cobain's death and the fading out of the Grunge Era, Local H's sound was just what we needed at the time. They had very similar energy and sound and I was hooked. For me, it felt like they picked up where Nirvana and Grunge left off. I am still a dedicated fan to this very day, too. This band has had a very profound impact on my life. Thanks for giving them some air time on your channel

[@rennithepooh]

This is awesome! Love this and the band b

[@darkshad0wz69]

@ TheeDavidDee i first heard Bound for the floor in '96 i was 26 and craving more sounds like the grunge sound and i found it in Local H and i ran out and bought As Good As dead and i wore the damn cd out and didnt think it was possible but it is and I still have an unopened fresh copy of the cd that sits on my shelf for all to see and still love them to this day and have bought their entire discography which is huge with demos, studio, live and unrealesed stuff and agreed they still jam to this day

[@randydaniels]

Hands down one of my fav bands. They're the perfect representatives for small town midwesterners. They're incredible live. Scott has had a tremendous influence on my approach to music.

[@miameramusic]

Me too. The new record is so good, makes me want to ditch bass and 2nd guitar altogether and just tour with a drummer. Of course I'll need a giant stack of amps and a pedal board that looks like something out of NASA.

[@prilljazzatlanta5070]

Thats very cool actually. I never knew that. I always thought they were a chicago band. Never associated them with small town midwest

[@chasee3797]

Was legit listening to their “Good As Dead” album while walking to classes today. In my opinion they are an underrated group.

[@kylehegedus5498]

Classic album!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@blackphillip8486]

CRIMINALLY underrated. One of the best live acts in rock period.

[@chasee3797]

@@blackphillip8486 agreed! I really want to see them live. Great bunch of guys

[@miameramusic]

They were pioneers of the 2-person rock band as well, way before the White Stripes and Black Keys.

[@Gobble_de_Goop]

High Fivin' MoFo is my fave Local H tune, personally. Always brings a smile to my face! 🙌😂

[@blackphillip8486]

Hate to be "that" guy but the picture you showed while talking about Brian St. Clair was actually Brian's replacement years later, one Ryan Harding. An excellent addition too. Brian is a legend in his own right imo.

This content creator often mispronounces names as well. It’s almost like he doesn’t do enough research.

Be that guy.if he's making money off this shit he should get it right

[@csn6234]

Hey, at least he didn't use Gary Coleman's picture for Brian

[@Nick-s-f]

Everytime I hear 'bound for the floor', it takes me back to 6th grade, 1996. Metallica had just released 'Load', then there was other things like Nintendo64. Great year to be a kid.

[@MachineGunAustin]

I bet

[@toypianos469]

I think I was about that age also. Middle school in the mid 90s. Man.

[@nuke97]

Same.

[@micahclawrence]

We’re the same age. I agree completely.

[@mikestein1024]

I never thought I’d make it this far

[@danielhathaway43]

Really? No mention of the cover of a WOLF LIKE ME by TV ON THE RADIO? INCREDIBLE SONG

[@nastyanon4122]

Still out there rocking. Caught them twice a couple of months ago. Once in Dallas and then drove to Austin to catch them again. Made #10 for me. I've seen Scott with all 3 different drummers.

[@mewyattt]

This video coming out on the day Local H release thier cover album Quarantine Mixtape #3. Nicely done

[@karen113088]

Yet they didn’t mention it in the video. I find that odd

[@Mighty_Atheismo]

Saw these guys open for helmet at the metro. The crows reeeeally thinned after Local H wrapped their set Also the only band that has convinced me to get in the pit on asphalt. Totally with the damage.

[@miameramusic]

Ha! Aw, poor Page! I saw Helmet at Columbia University in 94, so loud they blew out the PA system. Talk about thinning out the crowd 😆🤘

[@grancucui]

Truly one of the most underrated bands , even now they still put on a good show with a level of energy that a lot of new acts lack. Oh and btw they also opened for Metallica 😂 I wish I could have caught that tour.

[@logicalfool]

I just saw them in concert last Friday, so that's where they were.

[@dagwoodcalhoun]

I met Scott briefly at a Local H show at his merch table in 2014. Cool guy!

[@safteypinn]

He is always there after every show. He really cares for his fans.

[@pariahpokemonwesbragg2904]

One of my favorite bands!

[@NMAfreak]

Wow, after starting off informative, this proved to be terribly rushed and summed a decade+ of great records into about 15 seconds. My favorite record is from this recent period and they are a ferocious live act. Heck they even opened for Metallica in recent history, not something any ordinary band gets to do.

[@sprgrvr79]

I thought the same thing. Once he talked about Joe leaving the band he skipped over a lot of history. But oh well. Great band. I've seen them dozens of times and can't wait to see them again.

[@jeffgrotte]

Not to mention totally missing Ryan Harding, who has been the drummer for the last 8 years.

[@DetroitFettyghost]

@@jeffgrotte yea. He did however show a pic of Ryan and say it was Brian tho lol!

[@grimjules4989]

Detroit FettyGhost I noticed that and was pissed off as well! Both guys deserve WAY more respect than that.

[@nathangraham4711]

Whatever happened to them? They kept rocking and putting out amazing music. Still are. Best live show going and it’s not close.

[@vesuvianvomit]

so much better then their one hit wonder. criminally underrated.

[@sayntfuu]

I loved Bound for the Floor the first time I ever heard it on the radio. Still listen to it a couple of times a week. Great sound.

[@TheCubicleReview2]

Bound for the floor is probably one of the greatest songs of all time.

[@Jakew9]

I’m so glad you did this band, discovered them this year hard rockin 90s

[@blazedONEin87]

What a fantastic band. Saw them at least 5 times and every time, people absolutely lose their shit. Especially when they play cynic.

[@talynstarburst2l2l2l]

I just saw them for the first time and WOW\

Man there is so much more to Local H. You have to revisit this for a part 2 if you already haven’t.

[@EAraceliMD]

Aaah! I remember them...

[@sparekeiv]

What happened to them? They have never stopped releasing great music and putting on awesome shows.

[@Inactiveregret]

Their new record is awesome, just drove out to L.A. to see them they kicked ass Still on tour check them out!

[@samuelmagnum6047]

1st saw Local H in 95. Completely blown away by only two members crushing it. Bag of Hammers is still a great record.

[@mikelshilling]

The drummer that you show when you say Brian is actually Ryan..... :) Both are absolutely amazing drummers, just didn't want people to see Ryan on tour and think that Brian was back or something! :)

[@leontregerman491]

Local H is sadly the best kept secret in the modern tock scene. The next time I see them, I will surpass the number of times I’ve seen Bad Religion, Radiohead and the Foo Fighters. Scott is my favorite singer /songwriter and he’s so humble and appears to really enjoy talking to his fanz. I love saying hello to him after the show. He’s the real deal!!!!

[@cynthiamigliore2627]

First song I heard by them was Lovey Dovy. I heard it in the alternative all music channel. I wrote the song title and band in eyeliner so I wouldn't forget it! I love Local H

[@stevenloyer7491]

Most underrated band ever

[@Dogtown-o3g]

I always knew bound to the floor. But years later I dated a girl that showed me that they had more amazing songs. And they became one of my top 10 bands. I go to see them live anytime there around.

[@bryantaylor9874]

Every album has a different sound and every album is a must listen. Easily the most underrated band of the last 30 years. Ham Fisted should have been a smash. Wasn't a Nirvana rip off in the slightest though if you like one you'd like the other too. If you haven't listened to Local H or you only know the radio hits do yourself a favor and get the albums at least through Zoo. If you do and you don't like what you hear then ur in wrong genre lol Quick shout out to The Meices who are from the same vein and are the best bands nobodies ever heard. You should def do a video on them. You'd make my day if u did!

[@deluge71]

Saw these guys open for Corrosion of Conformity back in 1995. Bought a copy of 'Ham-Fisted' at that show, from Scott himself. Nice guy. Great memory.

[@ericisawesome476]

They have 9 studio albums with one coming out as recently as last year, and each one is better than the last. What ever happened to them? They’re still rocking, that’s what!

[@Wagoo]

I still love them - I just wish they'd tour Europe more often

[@trashcast1979]

they are criminally underrated. It makes me so mad.

[@beebecrocker9190]

I brought an old ticket stub to a small hometown gig they were playing. I bought the album they were promoting, but I asked Scott to sign my old stub from their headline gig at The Vic in Chicago. He signed it "I was here". Touché. I guess I should have made it clear that I owned like half of their albums including Hamfisted and was a nerd for them. Mayonnaise and Malaise is still my jam. Whatevs, Scott.....

[@lordmaximusfarquad449]

What ever happened to local H? Nothing They are still rocking putting out some music

[@penzotoko6619]

Lmao 'sea-hair'

[@MrRoboto81]

Whatever happened to Local H? Nothing. They’ve always been around. They just chose to legitimately stay local instead of selling out to a major label. I saw them at college of dupage way back in 2001 and they kicked ass.

[@jamesjames7889]

Local H is so good in concert !!

[@davidsinferno7385]

[@Krycky]

What ever happened to them !?!?! They literally have a show like every day. Constantly go see then in the Chicago area.

[@timweedon2785]

Zion isn't a small town... it's a suburb of Chicago for fs sake. Aldo Scott was livestreaming all during lockdowns and plays shows. I just ran into him the other week- cool dude.

[@twinpeaksdirtbag62]

If you get the chance, nay, privilege, then go see Local H in concert. They kick ass and put on an excellent show. I have seen them roughly a dozen times, and they never disappoint. Excellent modern albums. Going on 20 years excellent post-peak music, no matter the drummer.

[@ekbalamgarcia2624]

Local H wasn’t a band in 1988 at all, there was an “interracial “ band called Rude Awakening that included two future Local members . Local H became a band in 1990 and was a 4 pc, then a 3 pc, and finally a 2 pc by early 93. There were two demos prior to the tapes that made their way to polydor-Island.

[@garrettchristopher3462]

I saw them at their height at x fest 97 in Indianapolis I believe....the bloodhound gang were the headliners and on fire sugar ray was on the 2nd stage headlining....great festival

[@armandomendoza9028]

[@posthardcoresinger]

Got a little private show from these guys when I was 16. Went to a summer camp for rock bands called power chord academy. Scott's advice was to rip off all our favorite bands until we made it big... then pivot to writing your own stuff lol.

[@jessicajujubean5004]

I saw them open for some band called Electric 6. I never cared for Local H but they still put on a decent live show.

I actually saw them play at the Met Cafe in Providence in maybe 1996 or 1997. There were hardly anyone in the audience. I sat “Indian style” on the corner of the small stage while they played and no one gave me any trouble. They kicked ass. It was awesome. The only problem was that some dickhead in the audience kept yelling “It’s Nirvana!” after every song. Definitely a great show though.
