‘68 is the sound of simultaneous implosion and ex- plosion, of destruction and creation unbound. These are songs that could almost fall apart at any moment, yet never do, devilishl y dancing between life and death. It’s a primitive impulse delivered with postmodern purpose; a blacksmith’s resolve with an arsenal of electric distor- tion and raw nerve. Josh Scogin kickstarted his small band with the big sound in 2013, naming the two-man outfit he modestly undersells as “a little rock, a little blues, a little hardcore” after his father’s old Camaro. And there’s a muscle car-sized rumble beneath the hood of what the Atlanta, Georgia native and his percussive partner-in-crime, Nikko Yamada, unleash with an array of guitar, bass, drums, keys, and pedals, careening between swinging barnburners, wild hay- makers, and moody atmosphere. Grammy-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice In Chains) became a believer after just a few songs of a ’68 set. On GIVE ONE TAKE ONE, crafted with Ra- skulinecz in Nashville, the band’s high intensity bombast threatens but never swallows the underlying groove. Show more
