Listen to the new ’68 song — This Life Is Old, New, Borrowed and Blue

by | Mar 30, 2017

It’s a good day whenever there’s a new ’68 song. The band is set to release their sophomore album Two Parts Viper. And trust us, you’re going to like what you hear.

A follow up to 2014’s In Humor and Sadnessthe new album features 10 tracks that channel the spirits of At The Drive-In, Jack White, and The Black Keys.

Which makes for a fun live show. And there will be a bunch of them. Starting later this month the band will be out  with Every Time I Die alongside Wage War. And after that they’ll be headlining a tour with Listener.

Here’s a stream of their new single.

Two Parts Viper comes out June 2nd through Cooking Vinyl America.
