The No Fun EP, a six-song stopgap Local H put out on Thick Records on May 27, 2003, catches the Chicago-based duo of Scott Lucas and drummer Brian St. Clair in a bratty, loud-mouthed mood. Half of it is covers: the Godfathers' "Birth, School, Work, Death", already out on a split 7-inch with the Blank Theory, the Ramones' "I Just Want Something to Do", and a track built on the words of Primal Scream's "Kill All Hippies".
The three originals, "No Fun", "President Forever" and "Cooler Heads", began life as demos from the Here Comes the Zoo sessions. Most people took "President Forever" as a swipe at George W. Bush, but Lucas had written it in 1999, before Bush ever ran; after the invasion of Iraq he touched up the words and hurried it onto the EP. Lucas's riffs do the rest, all fuzz and bile.
