"During pandemic lockdown, alt-rock vets Local H began performing covers on their Facebook, taking on songs from all over the musical map."
Brooklyn Vegan

“LIFERS is a concept album, but also seems like an apropos title for an album about a duo of guys who, somehow, continue to soldier on in the music biz.”
SPIN

"While the record finds them still quite capable of angsty ragers, it also shows a quiet side, as on the delicate “Sunday Best. The video superimposes performance footage against vintage, silent era film footage and more."

-BrooklynVegan

"Local H are among the very best hard rock bands currently at work in the year 2020, and Lifers is potent evidence that isn't about to change"
-All Music

"There's plenty of Local H's trademark, punchy rock on Lifers, but fans will also notice some musical muscle flexing and prog rock influence on a handful of epics."
-Billboard
Today, Local H announce a brand new cover LP, Local H's Awesome Quarantine Mix-Tape #3, and share the LP's first single, "Brandy" via Brooklyn Vegan. On the track, Scott says, "Started doing this near daily streaming thing on Facebook during quarantine--because what the fuck else was I gonna do?--and it was basically just a bunch of oddball covers. I was watching "Ozark" on Netflix and they had this episode that featured "Brandy". My girlfriend turned to me and said "You gotta cover this song!" So that's what we did."

Rock n' roll stalwarts Local H remain as prolific and hungry as ever three decades into their perennially loud career. Shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed, Steve Albini produced album Lifers in 2020, the world changed forever with the onset of the global pandemic. After facing tour cancellations around the world, Local H became one of the first bands to embrace the drive-in concert experience, in addition, to live streaming numerous shows from their practice space. While locked under quarantine, the band recorded their third covers album to
date, aptly titled Local H's Awesome Quarantine Mix Tape #3.

Featuring an eclectic mix of their influences, contemporaries, and favorite artists, Local H pay tribute to everyone from Prince and Blondie to Fountains of Wayne and Mark Lanegan. The Awesome Quarantine Mix Tape is a testament to the solace that music can provide during the most difficult of times and a celebration for the world to get back in motion as the band is set to embark on months of steady touring in support of the album and the triumphant return of live music.

Local H will be embarking on a 2021 tour supporting Soul Asylum, alongside Juliana Hatfield. They also announce headlining dates with Radkey as support for the fall for The Lifers Retour. On 10/22, Local H will be performing at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta.
