Today, LOCAL H release "California Songs" single off the reissue of Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles?. This single is a high-energy rock song that blends the band's signature alternative rock style with a bit of a punk edge. The song features driving guitar riffs and a catchy chorus, showcasing Local H's knack for creating powerful, emotionally charged music. 

Scott says, "“California Songs” is either… 
A.) A scathing Midwestern rebuke to bi-coastal media elitism. 

B.) A totally normal, reasonable reaction to an overabundance of music dedicated to the Golden State. 
C.) Just another lame-ass song about California."

"California Songs"  -20th Anniversary Remaster (Official Audio)

Brutal Panda is proud to release the Deluxe 20th Anniversary Reissue of LOCAL H’s cult rock n' roll classic Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles?, remastered from the original recordings and finally available on vinyl for the first time ever.

Physical pre-orders are available now on Deluxe 2xLP/2xLP/CD-Blu Ray Combo/CS/Digital via Brutal Panda Records & G&P Records HERE. The reissue will see an official release date on September 13th. 

Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles?, LOCAL H’s fifth studio album, was originally released in 2004. The album saw Chicago's finest rock duo move further away from the mainstream and into cult status (like the album title's namesake) with the release of their first truly independent full-length. The album contains some of the band's finest songwriting and spans across various genres, incorporating elements of hard rock, electric blues, acoustic ballads, heavy metal, and high-energy punk. A watershed high-point in a career that is about to enter its 35th year.

LOCAL H frontman Scott Lucas commented on the anniversary + reissue: “I think it’s the best record we ever made. And I’m psyched that it’s finally on vinyl. Hopefully, Riff approves.”
