After adding the 'Thunderbirds Are Coming Out' to the Suburban Superheroes post, I thought I'd add another band featured in that video. 28 Days came from Frankston (outer suburbs represent) and added an element of rap/nu metal to the pop punk popular in the period and begun to round out lineups of the Bodyjar/Frenzal ilk.
Here I've attached their first EP, 1999's Kid Indestructible. Of course it's produced by Kalju Tonuma (wasn't everything back in those days? Or Lindsay Gravina).
It's very brief and upbeat and was the first (?) record released on the Mushroom imprint Sputnik Records. By sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to a PO box in Camberwell, you could receive your own set of 28 Days lyrics and stickers.
According to their period website, the band was formed in 1996 and featured members of Mindsnare, S.I.C. and Self Reliance. The discography page lists a single, album and 7" which are all probably difficult to find now.
Open up the booklet and you'll see spraycans. I've always found the punk/hiphop dichotomy interesting. There's a similar spirit embodied by the Beanz Baxter zine of the time, which covered 28 Days in Issue #8.
