Saw this on another board, thought it was worth posting here. I like it (and am fully prepared to be ridiculed for it...)

 

[Dead]

I love local H, and that song is probably my guiltiest pleasure ever. Cant wait to hear this

 

[Jim Bowie]

Local H, eh? That sounds very familiar... I wonder what I've heard from them.

Local H had one hit, namely "All the Kids are Right".

 

[olimario]

This is horrible.

 

[Matlock]

This is horribly good.

 

[Dead]

oh man awesome.

 

[Jim Bowie]

Wow. I didn't ever think that anyone could degrade a Britney Spears song. Holy crap.

 

[BigJonsson]

The screeching guitar is piercing my skull ugh

 

[Freestyler]

That is gorgeous, but doesn't come close to being half as hot as the original Toxic by Britney.

 

[Killthee]

I like it.

 

[IJoel]

What the...

I hate...

What...

This... is... catchy...

GODDAMN YOU!

 

[boredJonathan]

The begining is a little slow, but damn.. once it hits that chorus I just broke out into a big friggin grin..

I had forgotten all about Local H. They are from Chicago right?

Have they had anything worth checking out recently?

 

[Mike Works]

Hey, aside from the singing and music, this is actually pretty good!

 

[AlphaSnake]

The screeching is cracking my skull.

Oh and fuck...the chorus just hit...this fucking rocks. I changed my mind!

 

[Hooker]

Needs a lot of cleaning up, but doesn't sound half bad actually, bit louder as well

 

[miyuru]

"HEY GUYS, LET'S DO ONE GUITAR ON THE LEFT, AND ONE ON THE RIGHT. YOU KNOW, THAT WHOLE STEREO SHIT!"

Other than that, the chorus is pretty cool.

 

[Dead]

"HEY GUYS, LET'S DO ONE GUITAR ON THE LEFT, AND ONE ON THE RIGHT. YOU KNOW, THAT WHOLE STEREO SHIT!"

Other than that, the chorus is pretty cool.

the band is only 2 guys. Drummer and guitarist/singer

 

[miyuru]

Well you know what I mean right? How they separated one part to the left channel, and the screeching on the right? I just find it superannoying, and probably why I appreicate the chorus more because the separation isn't so in your face

 

[olimario]

I don't know how such screeching and unpolished music gets such praise here.
The guitarist is not very good and they do a horrible job of recreating the music from 'Toxic'.
And the lead singer sounds like a scratchy, angst-filled, late 20s crack addict.

What terrible music.

 

[MrPing1000]

The Rock covers Britney's "Toxic"

my reality > you

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

What the...

I hate...

What...

This... is... catchy...

GODDAMN YOU!

[Crispy]

A dutch band made a similar cover of Toxic, only better.

I don't have an MP3 of that..sorry

 

[BigGreenMat]

Yeah Local H is a 'Chicago' band (or were Scott is from Hinsdale, the original drummer Joe was as well, but he quit after their 3rd album). Oh and they are a shit ton of fun live. At least in Chicago they are.

 

[Cool]

I like that song "Copasetic" or whatever too. It was a radio single.

 

[dave is ok]

Bound to the Floor was the name, another minihit off that album was "Eddie Vedder"

 

[Ristamar]

Local H was pretty popular for awhile, and I kinda liked there first couple of albums. They definitely weren't a one hit wonder, they had a at least a handful of singles. I've heard them do decents covers of Nirvana and GNR, too.
