During the quarantine, American rock band Local H spent their time covering various songs on their Facebook. Once things began opening up in the United States, they started to release these covers as mixtapes, already relating two. Now, the alt-rock veterans are back with the third installment of these mixtapes, titled Local H’s Awesome Quarantine Mix-Tape #3, due Oct. 8 via Brutal Panda Records. A few of the artists they covered on this one included are Prince, Robert Plant, Blondie, The Kinks, and Fountains of Wayne. Before the release, the band has shared the first single from the album, Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl) by Looking Glass. Local H will be going on tour in just a few weeks with Soul Asylum and Juliana Hartfield. You can see the tracklisting, first single, and tour dates below.
“I was watching Ozark on Netflix and they had this episode that featured ‘Brandy,’ says frontman Scott Lucas. “My girlfriend turned to me and said, “You gotta cover this song!” So that’s what we did.”
