XCVIII – Funny

XCVIII, an indie pop group hailing from Detroit, has been creating waves with their refreshing take on modern pop music. The band’s name, inspired by the year 1998, is a nod to the past while embracing the future, and their sound reflects this unique blend of nostalgia and innovation. Known for their infectious energy and powerful melodies, XCVIII has quickly become a standout act in the indie scene, offering listeners something both familiar and new. With each release, they’ve shown their ability to capture the essence of a generation, creating music that resonates deeply with those searching for hope and joy in the chaos of today’s world.

Their latest single, “Funny,” is a perfect example of this blend of nostalgia and innovation. With its 2000s pop-inspired sound, the track channels the vibrant energy of artists like Avril Lavigne and The 1975, while still feeling completely fresh and relevant. Lyrically, “Funny” captures the sense of humor and resilience needed to navigate life’s ups and downs, offering a moment of lightness amidst the chaos. With catchy melodies, passionate vocals from Kevin Joseph, and a dynamic band backing him up, “Funny” is an anthem for anyone looking to laugh through life’s challenges. Be sure to check out “Funny” on streaming platforms, and stay tuned for more from XCVIII as they continue to make their mark in the indie pop world!
