’68 began a U.S. tour as main support for UK kings Bring Me the Horizon.
The two-week run with Bring Me the Horizon is the intro to a summer packed full of touring for ’68, including a coast-to-coast trek with The Fall of Troy and Illustrations, and headlining dates to be announced soon.
Consisting of former The Chariot and Norma Jean frontman Josh Scogin and drummer Michael McClellan, the Atlanta-based duo rocks with a harsh yet rootsy sound that Alternative Press has likened to “rocket-fuel-drenched trad outfits like The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The White Stripes, and The Black Keys,” as well as “Nirvana’s legendary Bleach.”
Debut album In Humor and Sadness was released on Good Fight Music in 2014. Watch the video for “R,” off In Humor and Sadness, here.

’68’s second album is currently in the works.
