'68 (band)
'68 is an American noise rock duo from Atlanta, Georgia. Formed in 2013 by guitarist and vocalist Josh Scogin—formerly of the hardcore punk band the Chariot—and drummer Michael McClellan, the band currently comprises Scogin and drummer Nikko Yamada. History Josh Scogin's former band, the Chariot, played their final show in November 2013. Just over a week later, Scogin teased an announcement with a countdown timer on the website ''theyare68.com''; when the timer ended in December 2013, Scogin revealed that he had formed a new band named '68 and posted a two-song EP, ''Midnight'', for sale online. The title of the EP and its two songs—"Three Is a Crowd" and "Third Time Is a Charm"—are significant to Scogin; the use of the number three in the song titles represents the third act of his life following his stints in Norma Jean and the Chariot, and Scogin also explained that three represents "that thought process of continuing on in my head: 'Three's a charm,' oh, this is g ...

''In Humor and Sadness'' is the first full-length studio album by '68. The album was released on July 8, 2014. Writing and recording Guitarist and vocalist Josh Scogin said that he "wrote a lot of the songs and then would go in the studio and record it that day or the next day," and that drummer McClellan would record a song after only hearing it for the first time that day. Said Scogin, "it’s a very impulsive record, very sorta wing-it style, let’s try this, and there’s no time for looking back." A week prior to recording Scogin set up a small studio inside Matt Goldman's studio where he would write and record songs, "four or five, maybe six songs." Once official recording began, the songs were recorded very quickly, since Scogin choosing to leave in the "mistakes," because it felt "very human."

''Two Parts Viper'' is the second full-length studio album by '68. The album was released on June 2, 2017. Background and composition Vocalist and songwriter Josh Scogin said that the album "is a journey €¦meant to be heard as a full statement from Track 1 to Track 10," and that the work is to be taken as a "package—the art, the music, the journey it took to get finished, the songs I deleted, the ones I kept, the struggles and the victories... It all had to happen just the way it did or this album would not exist the way it does." On the album's title, Scogin said "I was in Australia last year and had a dream where a man in a nice suit and tie came up to me. I would fail if I wasn't two parts viper. The dream was terrifyingly parallel with my mental state and conflict at the time. Even the phrase he used in the dream, 'Two Parts Viper,' shared two different meanings as the dream progressed... it struck me as interesting, and so I used it for the title." Reception ''Two Pa ...
