The two-piece released their video for “Eventually We All Win“ this month. The video, directed by Oleg Rooz, is a montage of footage taken while on their headlining world tour earlier this year. “Eventually We All Win” has become a fan favorite since the release of their latest record and was noted as a top pick by Alternative Press and Exclaim! who asserted: “The two-minute flirt of a track will hook longtime fans with a taste of vintage Scogin, but offers enough novelty to compel first-timers, too.” Check it out, here: https://youtu.be/uKfDN8Sgx2U.
Josh Scogin (The Chariot, Norma Jean) and bandmate Michael McClellan are known to channel everything from the intensity of At The Drive-In to Jack White-like vocals to a setup similar to The Black Keys. Together they released Two Parts Viper via Cooking Vinyl on June 2nd, 2017 to mass critical acclaim from several outlets including Alternative Press, Exclaim!, Paste Magazine, Rock Sound and Live Nation’s Bring The Noise. Alternative Press raved about ‘68, stating: “…Scogin and [McClellan] bring the noise in the most righteous ways, caring less about the scene they came up through, the bloodless drivel that passes as ‘indie’ and the boring earnestness currently permeating ‘punk’. Two Parts Viper is the best record of the year.” The 10-track record is available for purchase now on all major music services including Amazon, iTunes, and Spotify, here: https://68.lnk.to/tpv.
