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.
