The band originally consisted of Scott Lucas (vocals, guitar, bass) and Joe Daniels (drums). Daniels left in 1999 and was replaced by Brian St. Clair who was the band's drummer until he left in late 2013. Ryan Harding would replace him, and is the current drummer for the duo. They are perhaps best known for their 1996 hit single "Bound for the Floor".

Each year, critics at the Chicago Tribune name a "Chicagoan of the Year." The 2008 winner for music was Local H.

Local H started as hard-rock duo formed by Scott Lucas (vocals/guitar/bass) and Joe Daniels (drums). The two began in 1987 at their mainline high school in Zion. After failed attempts at recruiting a bassist, Lucas added bass pickups to his electric guitar.

Local H's 1995 debut Ham Fisted was released to lukewarm reception, but their 1996 follow-up As Good as Dead was certified gold and contained the hits "Bound for the Floor" and "Eddie Vedder." It was better received by critics, as was 1998's Pack Up the Cats, which spawned the single "All the Kids Are Right." Unfortunately, their label Polygram merged with Universal, and the album was all but forgotten in transition.

Daniels left in 1999. Lucas recruited recent Triplefastaction drummer Brian St. Clair later that year. St. Clair was a drum tech for Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick. Lucas and St. Clair released their first album together, Here Comes the Zoo, in 2002 on Palm Pictures. The No Fun EP came next in 2003, and Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles? followed in 2004 to favorable reviews, with the track "Everyone Alive" being featured in the 2004 video game Burnout 3. The break-up concept album 12 Angry Months followed in 2008, and to coincide with the 2012 presidential election the group issued Hallelujah! I'm a Bum that year, both albums receiving critical praise.

Brian St. Clair would amicably leave the band, playing his last show in November 2013, before Ryan Harding joined to fill in his spot. In 2015, the duo would issue their ninth studio album Hey, Killer through G&P Records, an independent label they operate that has also been utilized for smaller releases for the band in the past. In 2020, the duo iussued Lifers through AntiFragile Music.

Local H garnered good publicity for a cover of the Britney Spears hit "Toxic". The cover was available on the band's web site and is the last track on the otherwise live album Alive '05, issued in 2005. "Toxic" has been performed at recent concerts.

Local H is known for creativity in concerts. In 2003, the band auctioned off a concert on eBay, and in 2004, performed at Fritz's Corner in Zion. In 2005, the duo performed a series of set-list request shows, where the audience got to vote on what they wanted the band to play. Gabe Rodriguez often accompanied the band on tour and provided back-up vocals or kazoo playing.

Every Halloween, Local H plays in Ardmore, masquerading as a certain group. They have performed as Nirvana, Tom Petty, Oasis, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, and Sex Pistols.

Bound For The Floor
Local H Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Born to be down
I've learned all my lessons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get used to it

And you just don't get it
You keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it

You know it's so pathetic

Born to be down
I think that I've said this before now
Born to be down
What good is confidence?

And you just don't get it
You keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it

You know it's so pathetic
And you don't

Overall Meaning

even see it

The lyrics to Local H's song Bound For The Floor explore the theme of acceptance of one's insecurities and limitations. The repetition of the phrase "born to be down" highlights a feeling of resignation and acceptance of a life that will always be plagued by difficulties and setbacks. The lyrics suggest that the song's narrator has learned to accept their circumstances, but the frustration of not being understood or supported by others still weighs heavily on them. The line "what good is confidence?" calls into question the value of false bravado in the face of adversity.

The chorus of the song is particularly impactful, as the repetition of the lines "and you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic, and you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic" creates a sense of frustration and resignation. The song seems to be a call for empathy towards those who are struggling with their insecurities, as well as a call to embrace one's true self and stop pretending to be someone they're not.

@rickmacdonald5575

I love the simplistic guitarist plus drummer aesthetic (obviously the studio version here has the bass line, but I’ve seen them play live with just the two of them). I also love that the drummer is a black guy as I think black rhythmic sensibilities are for whatever reason the best in music (Afro-Cuban and samba rhythmic syncopation complexity, the essential foundational feel it imbues on the music, it’s a great thing and was sorely lacking in much of Western/European music prior to cultural exchange that has happened in the last century or two). Interestingly this drummer plays in a somewhat Dave Grohl-esque power style but with a little more sort of naturally flowing organically emotional fill explosion sort of thing that reminds me of Travis Barker who himself has been strongly influenced by black music and culture via hip hop (Travis seems far more black than his Blink 182 bandmates Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge who are both extremely white in their own ways, the epitomes of suburban i.e. sort of middle class American white boys born in the last half century or so lol which includes me admittedly, but Travis has a more working class and more urban music sensibility and personal style/personality, yet couples it with a militaristically precise sense of timing from his training in drum line during schooling and his devotion to regular disciplined practice of rudiments which one doesn’t see among rock stars much particularly in the more punk inspired areas where such things are sort of considered maybe too conservative/square/traditional). Anyway, my other favorite drummers like Jon Bonham who was sort of the OG rock drummer that obviously inspired every drummer since from Dave Grohl to Travis Barker to Chad Sexton, then you have Stewart Copeland who was influenced much by reggae and jazz complexities both black/African-descended originating musical styles, and Chad Sexton of 311 who I mentioned who has a similar if not more exaggerated metronomic militaristic precision as Travis but with a more reggae relaxed feel a la Copeland albeit less of the Bonham-esque aggression that Dave Grohl and Travis Barker capture but in its place more of the calm complexity of a Stewart Copeland albeit with more symmetry and sort of rigid structure than Copeland’s drumming tends to have, in that sense maybe similar to some of the prog rock drummers or someone like Ringo who understood their purpose is to provide reliable and slightly more practicable periodicity more than creative dynamic chaos, not to say Ringo wasn’t creative because he certainly was but he wasn’t really what you could call impulsive which is more my point as Chad Sexton is not either (sort of a different kind of conservative treat you could say, related to the metronomic militaristic timing in its conservative nature yet slightly distinct as I’d say Travis Barker has the timing but has more impulsivity and thus slightly less periodicity in his drumming and thus not the same highly reliable patterning as Chad Sexton who I’d call more conservative in that sense, and so less free-form jazzy, personally I prefer Travis Barker but I like both a lot).

Anyway this is just my ramblings that only drummers could understand I think lol so don’t worry much about it, just my own admittedly oddly race tinged and sort of vaguely/ambiguously politically tinged perceptions of personalities and styles and their natures lol.

@ur mom that should be because of Jesus Christ otherwise I would be very unsure.I was a heroin addict (10 yrs)and quit many times for years but without Jesus.I never really stopped using,even o'd'd from fentanyl and died for about 5 minutes and still kept using.Jesus Christ my friends is our only hope.Be blessed you guys.

And never actually really have. And I had to manage to learn how to live without them in order to make myself happy. And every time I hum the little Melody of this song it makes me start to cry. I have never had such an emotional tie to a song before.

This video makes it more clear to me now. I always thought it was about coming off from drugs, changing your lifestyle and looking back with regret. The song certainly works to that regard, but I think it is more about growing up with some form of abuse. Born to be down, I’ve learned all my lessons before now! what good is confidence😢. Seeing the kiddos on the Mary go round, then the adults makes that more clear. Drugs will absolutely destroy confidence, but if your family doesn’t teach you self respect you will learn to blame yourself for everything! And you just won’t get it!

Unfortunately for me I have to listen to lame ass shit that uses almost no instruments what so ever and thinking that just saying random shit and random noises. Qualifies as music. At least everything is recorded and I can travel back to a time of real music before I was even here
