The boys of Local H are back September 18th with a double album titled, Hallelujah! I’m A Bum.
It’s a concept album that delves into the divided political climate in the U.S. and across the world.
Lead singer of the band, Scott Lucas, commented on the upcoming album:
“The last couple of records I’ve been involved with have been pretty inward-looking and navel gaze-y,” Lucas confesses. “And with so much going on around us – to keep making records like that is not only kind of embarrassing, but borderline irresponsible. On the other hand, it’s still rock and roll – and no one wants to hear a bullshit polemic from me. The trick was to make the global as personal as possible and make it something everyone could relate to – regardless of who you vote for. We’re on the same side we’ve always been on – the people’s. Fuck – I don’t think a band can get much more blue collar than us…..unfortunately.”
