LYRICS
If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same

Yeah, The friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer, and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it

The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same

Yeah, we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Seen as a relic of the 90’s by some, the two piece band Local H hit some turbulent times in their career. Today let’s explore whatever happened to Local H.

Hailing from Northern fIllionois Local H would be best known for several big songs during the mid 90’s including Eddie Vedder and Bound For the Floor, which some people refer to as copacetic. Unlike today where two piece bands are more common like Royal Blood or the Black Keys of Death from above 1979, back in the 90’s Local H was an anomaly to record labels, especially considering they were also an interracial band. The group’s name came from combining two REM songs "Oddfellows Local 151" and "Swan Swan H.” But Local H wasn’t always a two piece, first starting out in 1988 in high school as 4-piece, the group’s bassist and guitarist would leave the group thinking the band wasn’t going anywhere leaving drummer Joe Daniels and frontman and guitarist Scott Lucas Ironically it was once the band became a two piece around 1993-1994 that things started to happen. To compensate for the fact that the band is only a two piece Lukas had two bass pickups in his guitar which allow him to play both instruments while also singing.

The band’s roots were based in a small town Zion (Zeye-in), Illinois,population 21,000 which also served the hometown of Different Strokes star Gary Coleman. Life in Zion would serve as a huge inspiration for the band’s songs.

Lukas had a pretty normal childhood telling the Morning Call Newspaper My parents stayed together. My dad was an artist. We always lived in apartments, and most of the time in the same place." Growing up, he listened to Pink Floyd, REO Speedwagon, AC/DC and "a lot of pop-rock." Lukas by his own admission never had a desire to go to college revealing he struggled through high school and music seemed more fun.

The members would get some help from local power-pop band Shoes with Lucas telling the morning call "They have a studio (Short Order Recorder) in Zion and we did a lot of demos there. When they saw things were starting to happen, they hooked us up with a lawyer." By 1994 the band recorded their demo and started sending it out to record labels. Their demo came across the desk of polydor rep joe bosso who actually listened to their time and signed the band immediately. . It was during this time that Polydor merged with U2’s label Island records. Typically record label mergers are usually catastrophic for a lot of bands because because staff are fired, they leave and lower priority acsts get dropped or stay on board with little support. , but Bosso assured Local H that everything was fine and he just needed the duo to hurry up and re-record their demos to sound more polished so he could give it to his colleagues and get people on his side at the label. These re-recording sessions would also produce one new song in Believe You Me.

The band would head to Reflection Studios in Charlotte, North Carolina, where REM recorded their first two records. Local H would work with producer Steve Haigler to produce the album. He was chosen because of his work with the Pixies. Released in January of 1995 Ham Fisted, the band’s debut album would be mostly written off as a sounding too close to Nirvana and did not even chart.

The band would spend close to half a year touring the record playing alongside Tripping Daisy who by the way i’ve done a whole video on. Link is down below. 6 months into the promotion cycle the label pulled the plug on the album and told the band to hit the studio again. You have to remember times were different back then as labels used to help nurture artists and not suddenly drop them after one album.

Lucas expectations were in check telling Vulture his thoughts on the band’s first album “For the most part, we were trying to scream and bang our instruments as much as we could,” “That was our sound at the time, so it would have been almost impossible for us to make a record that would have sold a lot of copies, if Island had expected something like that.”

Lucas would tell The morning call the difference between both albums saying
