When it comes to crafting a seamless fusion of classic rock with a modern pop twist, 28to15’s latest EP, “99 Miles,” takes listeners on an exhilarating musical journey. With an excellent combination of upbeat melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and a touch of contemporary electronic elements, this five-track release showcases the band’s ability to create an intriguing juxtaposition that resonates with a broad audience from beginning to end.

The EP starts with “(Hey Hey) Beautiful Day,” an upbeat track setting the tone for what’s to come. The energetic guitar riffs and dynamic drums create a feel-good atmosphere, contrasting with the relatively downbeat lyrics that delve into themes of depression and lost love. This striking juxtaposition between the music and the lyrical content makes the composition both engaging and relatable.

“19.8 Miles on Average (Like a Machine)” follows, delivering a driving rhythm and infectious hooks that will have listeners tapping their feet. The song’s clever wordplay adds depth to the narrative, exploring the struggles of everyday life with a sense of resilience and determination. As the EP progresses, the listener is treated to a cohesive collection of tracks that flow seamlessly together, each offering a unique blend of classic rock nostalgia and contemporary sensibilities.

The “99 Miles” production deserves special mention, as Marc and Nik have poured countless hours of hard work into creating a genuinely homemade industry-standard sound. The EP exudes a modern feel while paying homage to the sounds of influential bands like Counting Crows, Bruce Springsteen, and Dave Matthews Band. It’s a testament to the artist’s dedication and attention to detail that every element, from the instrumentation to the mixing, shines with clarity and professionalism.

Album Review

Cognitive Constellation Corps blurs humanity and technology on “Thank You for Your Feedback (I)” album

Cognitive Constellation Corps

In a world of notifications and automated responses, algorithms, and feedback requests, Cognitive Constellation Corps finds something unexpectedly human inside the machinery. “Thank You for Your Feedback (I)” is an alt-pop exploration of connection, isolation, communication, and the increasingly complicated relationship between people and technology, transforming familiar procedural language into something else.

Created by Brooke Tamsin Clevenger, a Belfast-based artist, the project’s principal composer, lyricist, producer, and conceptual director, the album is deliberately constructed around what happens to human emotion when our lives are increasingly structured by systems that process information rather than necessarily understand feelings. The album opens with “Opening Loop (i),” which introduces that world through the idea of repetition, linking software loops to the habits we humans learn in modern life.

Followed by “Signal Received (i),” the track becomes more fragile, a mix of bubbling electronic movement and the promise of waiting for a response. It picks up the strange emotional weight that can be behind something as simple as a digital signal. “Thank You For Your Feedback (i)” examines the pressure to be constantly evaluated, and “Echo Chamber (i)” reflects on how digital interaction creates intimacy and amplifies alienation. “The Curve of Clarity (i)” is a road toward understanding where data and human realization begin to converge.

On the production side, the project explores electronic textures without allowing its technological concept to overwhelm its emotional core. “Threadbare, Threadshare (i)” turns the fatigue of constant communication into an interesting concept. “The Response Loop (You’re Still Talking)” injects a sense of urgency with a faster, more club-friendly beat that mixes early-80s electronic music with state-of-the-art sounds.

“Harmonic Distortion (i)” continues the album’s obsession with emotion that has been filtered, and “Always (i) [Sevahem]” is an appropriate closer, reflecting on organic feeling and ancient human knowledge through the prism of digital sound. “Thank you for Your Feedback” is a tech-driven concept that is always aware of the person behind the screen. Cognitive Constellation Corps is cerebral and electronic and conceptually ambitious while remaining emotionally accessible.

Shawn Brown raises the volume on love, loss, and survival in “What a Way to Go”

Shawn Brown

Shawn Brown’s new single, “What a Way to Go,” is a guitar-heavy rock-pop anthem that makes doomed young love, instability, and survival something ferociously cathartic. The single, produced by celebrated musician and producer Grecco Buratto, fully embraces the scope of its story. Brown doesn’t turn heartbreak into a quiet, inward experience, but he energizes it, giving it drive and urgency.

“What a Way to Go” is a relationship against impossible odds, and the emotional tension is the clash between a world that feels like it’s falling apart and the stubbornness of two people who won’t let go of each other. That tension is what makes the song dramatic, but it also allows Brown to aim for a bigger, more explosive sound.

Recorded at The Trench in Portland with engineer Gregg Williams and the full Shawn Brown Band and trusted creative team, including Ben Landsverk, Jeff Langston, Ned Failing, Tiago Becker, and Juan Garcia Petri. Their combined presence adds to the muscular, expansive character of the single that one would expect from an anthem of this magnitude.

Brown handles the emotional commitment with confidence, true to its survivalist spirit, and pairs the guitars with a performance that feels immediate rather than remote. “What a Way to Go” is one of Shawn Brown’s most electrifying releases, blending raw rock power with the emotional openness of a love story that won’t go quietly. It’s raw, loud, passionate, and unapologetically alive.
