Lit returns with long-awaited new album, tour

Orange County, Calif. alt-rock band Lit is set to release sixth album, "The View From The Bottom," on June 19 via Megaforce Records.

Among the album's tracks are “The Broken,” poignant “Here’s To Us,” big rockers “C’mon” and “You Tonight” - co-written by Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith) - and glam stomper, “Same Shit, Different Drink” (co-written with Walker).
