Chicago's leading neo-grunge two-man hard rock juggernaut is in loud and angry form on this six-song EP, and as anyone familiar with this band's past work knows, Scott Lucas is always at his best when he's got a big ol' grudge against someone (or something). After the relative disappointment of Local H's fourth album, the overworked Here Comes the Zoo, The No Fun EP is (for the most part) a blazing return to form; with the band producing themselves (with some help from engineer Andy Gerber), these tracks connect with maximum impact and minimal fuss. Drummer Brian St. Clair sounds more fully integrated with guitarist/bassist/vocalist/big cheese Scott Lucas than he did on Here Comes the Zoo, and if Lucas' wall of guitars don't have a whole lot of nuance, they kick like Bruce Lee on steroids, and the good news is this band hasn't sounded so gloriously muscular since As Good as Dead. Half of the songs on The No Fun EP are covers, which may not suggest a large backlog of new material, but all three originals are winners, especially the vitriolic George W. Bush parody "President Forever," another jaundiced look at the state of the rock scene in "Cooler Heads," and the bone-crushing title cut. Elsewhere, their take on the Ramones' "I Just Wanna Have Something to Do" actually finds a new angle in the old chestnut, and their assault on the Godfathers' "Birth, School, Work, Death" is nothing short of inspired. Only the closer, the almost-ten-minute "Fuck Yeah, That Wide," disappoints, but at least it's fun for the first few minutes, and five winners out of six is a damn good batting average; if Local H can sound this tight, aggressive, and effective on their next full-length, they could have a masterpiece on their hands. ~ Mark Deming

Recorded at Million Yen, Chicago, Illinois.

Local H includes: Scott Lucas (vocals); Brian St. Clair (drums).

Local H Here Comes The Zoo CD  (2002)

Released in 1998, Pack Up the Cats was supposed to be Local H's breakthrough album, which would propel the band to fame and fortune (or at least a better touring van), but that sure wasn't how things worked out. The merger of Polygram and Universal shortly after Pack Up the Cats was released drove a stake through the album before it could take off, and the bandmembers quickly found themselves stranded and without a label, which led drummer Joe Daniels to quit the group -- no small thing for a two-man band. The fact that Local H survived at all to make Here Comes the Zoo is no small accomplishment, but the album suggests guitarist/bassist/vocalist/songwriter Scott Lucas is still trying to win back the momentum he lost after the debacle of 1999. New drummer Brian St. Clair ...

CD $10.85  5 stars Audio Samples
On Darkest Hour's third album, Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation, it should come as no surprise that the lyrics are as vitriolic as the vocal timbre, decrying and describing a society where guns, violence, and malevolent media rule. The band rolls through twisted grindcore progressions in the background with reasonable aplomb. The album unexpectedly concludes with an uncharacteristic instrumental, "Veritas, Aequitas," whose piano, acoustic guitar, and ...

A founding leader of the influential cult band the dB's, Chris Stamey has spent most of last 15 years producing other people's discs (Alejandro Escovedo, Yo La Tengo, Whiskeytown) rather than creating his own. Not counting a 1995 instrumental album, Travels in the South marks his first record since 1991, when he released both the solo Fireworks and Mavericks, a duet disc with his old dB's partner Peter Holsapple. South, however, shows little sign of rustiness. The album kicks off with the ...

NATIONAL RELEASE JULY 12, 2005 *****WINNER***** ACOUSTIC ALBUM OF THE YEAR ! AND ACOUSTIC ARTIST OF THE YEAR ! 2006 BLUES MUSIC AWARDS (formerly known as the W.C. Handy Awards) This CD "Down in the Delta" really captures the deep blues feeling that this former Muddy Waters Blues Band member brings to his live performances. This is real lowdown, gutbucket, down-in-the-alley blues steeped in tradition featuring Paul on neckracked harmonica, guitar, piano, melodica and vocals. He is joined on this album by a stellar cast of some of the best blues musicians working today, including Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Levon Helm and Richard Innes on the drums, Dave Maxwell on the piano and Calvin "Fuzz" Jones, Mudcat Ward and Ronnie James on the bass. PAUL OSCHER began playing the blues at age 12 when his uncle gave him a harmonica. He was taught the rudiments of blues harmonica by Jimmy Johnson, a southern medicine show harp player and by the time Paul was 15, he was playing professionally in soul revues at black night clubs like the Baby Grand, 521 Club, Seville Lounge and the Nitecap. In the mid 1960's Paul met MUDDY WATERS back stage at the Apollo Theatre, and in 1967, when Muddy came to New York without ...
