Highroad No. 28 return with a gripping and emotionally heavy new single, “Thistroubledsoul,” marking one of their darkest and most introspective releases to date. Distributed globally via The Orchard (Sony Music), the track pulls you straight into its brooding atmosphere—cinematic guitars, aching melodies, and raw vocals that feel torn from the chest. It’s a song about the weight we quietly carry, the private battles people rarely see, and the strength that emerges in the middle of that emotional storm. The sense of vulnerability is palpable, making this release a standout moment in the band’s evolving sound.
For this chapter, frontman Andrew JC performs every instrument and handles all lead vocals, turning “Thistroubledsoul” into a deeply personal expression before the band unveils its new live lineup for 2026. His solo performance isn’t just a stylistic choice—it’s a statement of identity, reconnecting with the spirit that defined Highroad No. 28 at their core. Following the first single “Ache,” this new track continues the path toward the band’s long-awaited third album, The Will to Endure, set for December 2025. The title couldn’t be more fitting: the music feels like a testament to surviving, rebuilding, and refusing to fade away.
Emerging from a long hibernation between 2012 and 2024, Highroad No. 28 have re-entered the scene with a renewed fire, returning to the emotional depth and melodic intensity that built their cult following. From the crushing heaviness of their early EPs to the atmospheric and introspective direction of albums like Stumbling to Divinity, the band has always used rock as a vessel for catharsis. With “Thistroubledsoul,” they lean even deeper into that territory—haunting, honest, and beautifully human. Highroad No. 28 sound more focused than ever, standing at the beginning of a powerful new era.
