257. LIFERS - Album Imploder: AS GOOD AS DEAD (with Steven Haigler) Part Two

“You’re listening to SONG IMPLODER — where musicians take apart their songs piece by piece and tell the story of how they were made. And then talk shit about those songs and make you embarrassed you asked about them in the first place. On this episode we finish our two-part examination of Local H’s 2nd studio album: AS GOOD AS DEAD. Released in April of 1996, the album would prove to be the band’s commercial and artistic breakthrough, spawning several ‘90s alternative radio hits — including “Bound For The Floor”, “Eddie Vedder” and “Fritz’s Corner”. Now on the eve of a band sanctioned remastered re-release, we join singer/songwriter/guitarist Scott Lucas, producer Steven Haigler, and master of his domain Gabe Rodriguez to look back on the writing, recording and reception of the album that Lucas and many of the band’s fans have come to see as their biggest seller.
