25 Years Of Local H

FALL 1995
Joe Bosso is very excited by what he hears and wants to fast-track us into the studio to start recording our second record. Maybe he wants to move quick before anybody at the label has time to shut us down, but he urges us to keep writing so we can be in the studio by November. It all seems insanely fast, but we actually do come up with new material. We don't even bother to go back into the studio to do proper demos - Scott won a karaoke machine singing House Of The Rising Sun at a work party, and he uses it and Joe's drums to record a rough demo of Eddie Vedder (which mysteriously disappears). We also use the machine to record a garbled Back In The Day, I Saw What You Did And I Know Who You Are and an early version of Fritz's Corner. Tentatively titled Townie, this early version of Fritz's is almost identical to the album version, except for the wipeout-like drum pattern on the verses. A week later, Joe decides to scrap that and pull a War Pigs - accent the guitar slashes and leave nothing but empty space under the vocal - and the song comes alive. Bosso declares us ready to roll tape.
