Local H is an American rock duo known for their raw sound and innovative approach to alternative rock.

Formed in the early 1990s, the band features Scott Lucas on vocals and guitar, with a rotating lineup of drummers, including Joe Daniels and Ryan Harding. This two-member configuration has become a defining aspect of the group's identity. Local H gained widespread recognition with the album "As Good as Dead," which includes the single "Bound for the Floor," a track that became prominent in the post-grunge era and remains a staple on alternative radio.

The band is recognized for a rigorous touring schedule and dynamic live performances, establishing a reputation as a hardworking act in rock music. Local H's discography includes albums such as "Pack Up the Cats," "Here Comes the Zoo," and "Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles?," each highlighting their blend of heavy guitar riffs and introspective lyrics. The duo's commitment to authenticity and a do-it-yourself approach has cultivated a dedicated fanbase and respect within the music industry.

Local H maintains an active presence in the music scene, releasing new material and performing at festivals and venues nationwide. Their projects demonstrate a willingness to experiment with their sound while retaining the core elements of alternative rock that define their music. The band's longevity and adaptability have established them as influential figures in the genre, engaging audiences through both recorded work and live shows.

Local H has received critical recognition for their contributions to rock music, particularly for their use of technology to create a powerful sound with a minimal lineup. Their perseverance through industry changes and lineup shifts underscores their resilience and dedication to their craft, making them notable performers for audiences across generations.
