Release Notes:
lternative rock mainstays Local H return with their seventh album on May 13,
titled 12 Angry Months. The bandÆs debut on Shout! Factory, 12 Angry Months is
Local HÆs first new studio album since 2004Æs Whatever Happened To P.J. Soles?
Written after the bitter end of a long-term relationship, the album chronicles a
full year of post-breakup experiences. Each track on 12 Angry Months corresponds
to a month, and deals with the range of emotions one encounters after love turns
sour. Those emotions range from anger (ôso, baby could you do me a favor? fall
off the earth and i'll see you laterö), to jealousy (ôthis is crazy, I canÆt
believe that you replaced meö), to acceptance (ôyou knew weÆd never make it
anywayö).
Highly regarded for their powerful sound and unique two-man lineup with Scott
Lucas on vocals and guitar and Brian St. Clair on drums, Local H is known for
derisive lyrics, heavy guitars and feedback, energetic live shows, and an active
relationship with their fans. The band performs regularly, and will be on tour
nationally in 2008.
In 2007 Local H showcased their typical humor when they played a show at
ChicagoÆs Cellular Field, and fans were only granted tickets by finding Lucas
around town and proclaiming ôAttention all planets of the Solar Federation - we
have assumed control.ö Other shows have seen the band passing out a sushi
menu-type ballot to take song requests, auctioning off a concert on eBay, and
performing under the names and guises of other bands, including Nirvana, Tom
Petty, Led Zeppelin, and Hall & Oates.
Originally formed in Zion, Illinois, Local H released their first album, Ham
Fisted, on Island Records in 1995. On that album and the gold-selling follow-up
As Good As Dead, the band came to be known for sardonic songs such as ôEddie
Vedder,ö ôHigh-Fiving MFö and had their biggest hit with the alternative radio
staple, ôBound For The Floor.ö
