American rock duo '68 (featuring Josh Scogin ex-The Chariot/Norma Jean) are set to release their forthcoming album Two Parts Viper on Friday 2 June via Cooking Vinyl.

The 10-track record channels everything from the intensity of At The Drive-In to Jack White-like vocals to a setup similar to The Black Keys. It's a compilation of what may be the pair's strongest work to date - demonstrating more energy with a guitar and small drum set than some can with an entire live band. Having toured with the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Every Time I Die, and The Fall Of Troy to name a few and hitting festivals such as Louder Than Life, Carolina Rebellion, AfterShock, and Welcome To Rockville - the alt-rock veterans felt it was time to take a different approach to further define their brand.

The two-piece will return to Australia in July for a string of intimate shows kicking off in Adelaide and making their way through Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Newcastle, and Brisbane.

Tickets go on sale Friday 5 May @ 9am.
