Imagine former The Chariot frontman Josh Scogin playing in The White Stripes — then you’ve got a pretty good idea of his new band ’68. We’ve been talking all about ’68 since they put out their EP, Midnight, and we’ve got high hopes for their upcoming debut album In Humor And Sadness, which comes out this summer.
In July the band will be supporting the release of their record on a tour with Listener and The Homeless Gospel Choir — it’s called the “I Went on Tour and All I Got Was This Tour, Tour.”
Here’s a stream of a new track off the album — it’s appropriately called “Track One.” We’ve also included some live footage of the band from their show at The Outland Ballroom in Springfield, MO the other month. This will get you through the day.
In Humor And Sadness comes out on July 8th through eOne Music/Good Fight Music.
