History
After debuting with a one-sided 7" single "Ball of Hate" and the Sand CD single, 28 Days released their self-titled album in 1998 through the independent Stubble imprint. A year later they were picked up by Festival Mushroom's newly launched development label Sputnik, releasing the Kid Indestructible EP. The EP consolidated a following around Australia as a result of Triple J's constant rotation of the tracks "Kool" and "La Tune". The more harder-edged, rap-influenced singles of 2000, "Here We Go/Sucker" and "Rip It Up", boosted 28 Days' audience. The latter peaked at #12 ( Gold ) on the ARIAnet Singles Chart, and the former featured in some editions of Mission: Impossible II soundtrack. When released later that June, their second album Upstyledown entered the ARIAnet album chart at #1, and would go platinum. The year was rounded out with two further charting singles - the more reflective "Goodbye" and "Song For Jasmine", .28Days third album Stealing Chairs ( Gold ) saw 28 Days into 2002, with its most popular single being the summery "What's The Deal?".
