Here Comes the Zoo

Local H

A thick wall of Midwestern noise and biting satire. This record trades radio polish for a gritty, sprawling exploration of rock and roll disillusionment.

Find on Amazon

It's the loudest two guys you've ever heard, and they're pissed off at the record industry.

A heavy, cynical blast of Midwestern grit that balances massive riffs with dark, industry-focused satire.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, sludge-thick guitar riff that opens Hands on the Bible, establishing a heavier tone than their previous radio hits.
The transition into the ten-minute coda of track 10, where the rock anthem dissolves into a haunting, carnival-esque soundscape.
The rhythmic interplay and cowbell-accented groove of Keep Your Girlfriend that highlights Brian St. Clair's debut drumming with the band.
