Rated: ****

I’m not a fan of bandnames that already exist. But I reckon we mentioned that a few times before. Why name your band that way if there’s already a band with that name? I’m also not really a fan of bandnames that are so vague, short or almost impossible to do good searches on. I’m mean, you could have at least named yourself The ‘68 Noise Circus. Or Ending ’68 On A Noise Note. Or They Are ’68, like your homepage, bandcamp, facebook, twitter and such are all named? Or I don’t know. Just, something a bit more than just ’68! But hey, that’s just me and I’m just a crazy dingbat as we all know. However silly the bandname, the music is not! These two scallywags make an awful lot of racket and the good kind at that! Two albums have come; but this one produced by Nick Raskulinecz takes the noise to an entirely new level. The album is called Give One Take One and we are treated to ten tracks filled to the brim with noise, punk, garage, hardcore and the post versions of it. But there’s also that bluesy edge and something that moves from bombastic to catchy like quicksilver. Melodic when it wants and just as easily energetic as well as modest and gentle. The ’68 two have delivered a highly varied and explosive rollercoaster of chaotic magic!
