’68 unleash Removed Their Hooks from “heaviest album” to date

The mighty ’68 have just announced details of their “heaviest” album to date, entitled Yes, And…

Due out on September 29 via Pure Noise, the album follows 2021’s Give One Take One, and according to vocalist/guitarist Josh Scogin, it’s a bit of an accident that it ended up this way…

“This is by far the heaviest album ’68 has ever done,” he teases. “It wasn’t on purpose, it just sort of evolved into what it is.  As soon as we could see the full gravitas of the album, we just leaned into it. Many of the bluesy tracks didn’t find a home and some of the parts that were on the fence, we doused with gasoline.  

“For us, the pendulum has never been extended so far, in one direction. This is exciting because it was obvious how this album needed to turn out and it pretty much solidifies how the next album will end up as well.”
