This week we have a guest! Grant Donaldson from Moni Jitchell (and many others) joins us to talk about the debut album by ‘68. Launching almost immediately after the abrupt end of the critically acclaimed Christian Metalcore The Chariot, ‘68 are a very different proposition indeed. At various points channelling equal parts southern blues, angular punk rock and noise rock, they couldn’t be further away from metalcore. Written in the studio and recorded in a very short space of time, In Humor and Sadness is both an extremely fun and seemingly spontaneous sounding record that also somehow comes across as well crafted. Truly a testament to the talent of Josh Scogin and drummer Michael McClellan, it’s an album full of ferocious energy, playing and charisma. In this episode we talk about the band’s history, including briefly touching on Norma Jean, The Chariot, Christian Metalcore and the band’s entire discography before giving the album itself a good once over. We hope you enjoy! VINYL FANS: Like the idea of the record club but don’t want the commitment?
