Of all the bands that came through the post-grunge boom of the mid-nineties Local H was the most unique. A racially mixed guitar-drum duo, Local H was the complete inverse of the stereotypical "Rock" band, yet they made it work for them rather than against them. 1996 saw the release of Local H’s breakthrough album As Good As Dead. The Album’s title comes from the track Eddie Vedder, one of the most angst ridden breakup songs in a decade full of angst ridden break up songs. Thankfully the songs clever word play and theatrics more then buoy the song along.

Quarters on the eyes
Rejected Sacrifice
Cauterized at best
Failing your litmus test
I know it's dumb to say
But turnabout's fair play
Always knew that you
Were suffering a fool
You go ahead - as good as dead
Okay - I understand
But I don't want to be your friend
I don't need another friend
I've got too many friends
If I was Eddie Vedder
Would you like me any better?
That's it - I quit - I don't give a shit
You go ahead - as good as dead
Coming to a head
You're as good as dead
