Highroad No. 28 Confront the Shadows Within on Their Haunting New Single “Thistroubledsoul”

Melbourne alternative rock force Highroad No. 28 return with a gripping and deeply introspective offering in “Thistroubledsoul,” a single that cements their evolution into darker, more emotionally revealing territory. The track marks a powerful new phase for the long-running project, with frontman Andrew JC taking full creative control, handling every instrument and vocal as the band prepares to unveil a refreshed live lineup in 2026.

“Thistroubledsoul” is a slow-burning storm, built on cinematic guitar swells, brooding textures, and a vocal performance that hits with the weight of unspoken battles. Recorded at Melbourne’s iconic Sing Sing Recording Studios and mixed by rising producer James Taplin, the song moves like an exposed nerve quietly trembling, then erupting into waves of melodic intensity. Its emotional core is clear: carrying the weight the world doesn’t see, wrestling with inner fractures, and finding a strange, reluctant strength in survival.

Highroad No. 28 has never shied away from heavy themes, but here the vulnerability feels sharper, more intimate. Andrew’s solo performance doesn’t read as isolation; it reads as confrontation. After years of lineup changes, long pauses, and creative reinvention, the band now channels its legacy of resilience into a sound that’s refined, cinematic, and steeped in emotional truth. As the second single from their upcoming album The Will to Endure, “Thistroubledsoul” signals a compelling new chapter: heavier in emotion, richer in atmosphere, and unmistakably authentic. It’s not just a return, it’s a reckoning.
