Local H - All The Kids Are Right

[@jm-io8iu]

Underrated song from an underrated band

[@TradBarbie]

Most underrated band of our time.

[@valmore2477]

They took it from two R.E.M. songs - Oddfellows "Local" 151 and Swan Swan "H"

[@a.mnmemories4289]

Totally agree!!! You my friend have great taste in music.

[@rondog5]

And this a great concept for a video. kinda reminds me of sweating bullets by megadeth.

[@MZ8UEZ]

Underrated comment as well...

[@andyw.9847]

all the kids are now adults. we were cool in the 90's though

[@elucas3975]

Probably the best sounding live band I have ever heard outside of Foo Fighters....so much energy during their set.... Thank you Local H!

[@Bloodburn]

And they are just 2 dudes, and they sound like an entire band, they are great, seen them many times in chitown where they are from.

[@jimmymyers]

Interesting you say that. When Foo Fighters started off they played shows together

[@samwrought5650]

The fact you said foo fighters live I’ve seen foo fighters live and yeah they are one of the best bands to see live. Says volumes about local h. Never saw them live 😩

[@peter_c_]

I love both Local H and the Foo Fighters. Two amazing bands!

[@brucebalmiz7338]

I actually grew up with these guy in zion Illinois. I was at the show that they were singing about. It was the last show I went to before I went to prision for 10 years. My cousin dated joe back when they used to crash at her house on Enoch st. in Zion. I watched them write and practice songs that ended up being on Ham Fisted - Pack up the cats. It's so surreal. I was a shorty back then so it wasn't like we were bro's or nothing. It's just cool to hear people talking about them and me being so close to action like that in the beginning.

[@guitarmatricide4834]

That’s awesome! So now I have to know: Do you know what the hell was wrong with Joe? Was he wasted on substances or something? That’s what I always took it to mean...

[@miameramusic]

@@guitarmatricide4834 I think he's just poking fun at how critical the fans were, it took the fun out of playing shows. This band is still amazing, in fact I'm going to see them in Baltimore tomorrow night. Cheers!

[@unclececil]

@@miameramusic I think you're spot on. I wonder if they know how much their fans love their music. I was lucky enough to see them in Chicago a few times, and each time by accident. I was going to concerts that had no opening act listed, and found out at the door Local H was opening...Best surprises ever!

[@miameramusic]

@@unclececil Very cool surprise indeed! I saw them open for Saul Asylum, but when I saw them headlining their own show last week they totally blew me away. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Radkey, the opener, was also very cool.

[@jamesfremont2914]

Scott's said in many interviews not to live in the past, and that it's better in a way that his band got kind of big but never REALLY big, and so they've had to keep plugging away. And they are.

[@9326metal]

Only 720000 views? Man this song is so under appreciated. I mean the band as a whole are under appreciated. I only came across them a few years ago(thanks to you tube oddly enough) and I'm still baffled how little radio play and exposure they got.

[@xeverettx2564]

This is an absolute 1990’s classic. In high school I played in a straight edge hardcore band and when this song first came out on the radio we were all cruising to the bookstore in my OG Caddy and we all said at once “we need to cover this!!!!“ Which always threw people off at shows yet they loved it because we just put our little twist on it and did more of a yelling hardcore punk vocal over top and it just worked really well as a positive youth crew hardcore song. I think a big part of it was that the rest of our original songs were about the kids, shows, having a real PMA message, so it fit!!! Thank you Local H and not just for this gem but the many power pop masterpieces you wrote for us kids in the 90’s!!!!!!

[@benjaminromshak9904]

Seen them with Marcy’s playground and everclear last year. Local H opened, but was by far the best there.

[@leslieryan6736]

[@cavalierliberty6838]

I wanted so bad to go to their two balls and a dick tour. I heard about that concert though. I can see why they'd be the best.

[@kylehegedus5498]

I saw them on that tour too!!!! And yes, they were the best. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@KingofCrusher]

Obviously since Marcie Playground is awful and has no good songs, and Everclear is one of those shitty bands you liked as a teen but realized how bad they sucked when you grew up.

[@SneedyKetler]

@@KingofCrusher that’s fairly apt. I never cared for Marcy Playground and Everclear had two decent albums but Art let fame get to his head sometimes. Not out of touch like Billy Corgan could get but still questionable at times.

[@zachjohnson6672]

Saw these dudes in Dallas about twenty years ago. One of the best shows I've ever been to. These high-fiving mother motherfckers crushed it.

[@callbackdons]

Great song. My favorite thing about it is the craftsmanship of the chorus, with the stopping transition on the snare strike, the one-beat rest, then the full band re-entrance on the next beat with the huge unison bend to high E, the tambourine shaking, and the rhythm guitar doing the slow three chord walk up the fret board. It's hypnotic.

All the kids are tirrrrred and turn awaaaayyy

[@yaayeet8739]

"I was born in 1971 and moved to L.A. from my hometown D.C. in 1980, and Oh' Boy..!! Growing up in the 80's with such great and amazing bands was so fucking awesome..!! And this song reminds me of all of those great times that I had when I moved out to L.A., and FUCK..!! I WISH THAT I COULD GO BACK..!! Regardless of all the hard times and being homeless on SkidRow, music like this got me thru..!! I know Local H wasn't around back then, but the style was, and All Of Us Kids Were Right..!! We are a dying breed, and need to bring ALL OF THAT TYPE OF MUSIC BACK..!! NOW..!!" 👍❤🔥

[@woweewow9488]

The kids will bring it back. That's their specialty.

[@dirtylowdown7833]

I saw Local H back in the middle to late 90's at a small club called the "Toy Tiger" in Louisville KY. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen.. Those guys Kicked Rock N Ass!!!.. Love Them!!

[@moderateproductions5085]

I saw them about 4 weeks ago. They competed with Green Day's House of Blues Concert very well. Scott signed a copy of their new record, and I shook hands with him. Very nice guy

[@wasabirice]

Growing up too poor to have cable, I've never seen this music video before. That is a shame, but I'm glad today I righted that wrong. You probably don't care about the rest of my comments, but I wanted to put it down somewhere while I'm thinking about it. ... So I've been doing some 30 day music "challenge" on Twitter and have been having a hard time thinking of the last day "A song that reminds you of yourself" because as I've gotten older, all the songs that I still love no longer really describe me or my outlook. I'm no longer a teenage pining for someone that doesn't even realize I'm alive. I'm not looking for a random hookup while drunk on the dance floor. I don't even listen to the radio anymore. I'm no longer the intended target of music, it feels like. Then this song came on while I was taking my afternoon break at work and I realized I'm still the kid that gets pissed at a bad show. Sure, I'm a grown man and all that, but I still get super upset when a show goes poorly and nearly left the last show (Dollyrots! They rocked!) before they even came on because I was angry that there were two opening acts and not just one. Glad I stuck it out though. I've gotten similarly bummed at other shows over the last 10 or so years, because now that I could afford to go, the shows didn't live up to my expectations.

[@tastycakebrimstone7731]

[@pringlescan81]

first of all, the chorus to this song just KILLS... it's funny how this song meant one thing to me when i was young wanna be rock star and something different now that i'm older and adjusted. these days the song is an allegory of fatherhood

[@Jetsboy69]

The best band in the world. If I had not caught the video on ABC TV RAGE here in OZ, I would not know of this band.

[@nikos8004]

The one thing you can say about Scott's lyrics is that they're very straight forward. No underlying meanings. Really pay attention to Pack Up The Cats and you'll realize that it's a concept record about making it.

[@ProgrammedForDamage]

Thank you! I've always said that Pack Up The Cats is a concept album and people thought I was nuts.

It payed off tho. Many outlets declared Pack Up the Cats as one of the best albums of the 90s!

@@owentdi3613 oddly, I have seen Bieber (thanks to my young daughter who ended up about a month later not liking that kind of music anymore, phew! It was a few hundred dollars down the drain but thankfully her music tastes changed. At least she knows who Local H are) but it looks like I'll never get to see Local H live as I am down in OZ (Australia) and the last time they came (1996) I missed out. It was not great when I had to say the last concert I went to was Bieber, but I was so glad when I went to the next concert (a band called The Screaming Jets - who are a rockin' Aussie band) as it wiped out having to say J.B was the last concert I went to.

[@distantandvague]

[@AndJusTIceForRob]

There were so many bands playing this kind of music in the 90s. But now I’m getting to where I really miss it. This sound was so commonplace back then, and I never thought the styles would change, but they’ve certainly drifted away over time. Now, I understand the way things looked and sounded when the CCR and Beatles sounds become less commonplace as they grew older.

"You failed them and they won't forget it" is such a great line. I remember hearing this on the radio on a tiny local independent station in the mid-Hudson Valley NY back in the 90's and loved it. This band killed it every time they released something and they deserve to be known as well as the Smashing Pumpkins and such.

Blame Universal Music Group. They bought out Local H's label just before Pack Up the Cats was to be released (which this song is the lead single from) and basically didn't promote the record at all despite having momentum from their surprise success.
