28 Days came out of Frankston, in Melbourne, in 1997, a snotty, fast-moving punk band built around singer Jay Dunne, guitarist Simon Hepburn and bassist Damian Gardiner. They played like they had something to prove and a very short attention span.
Upstyledown, their second album, came out in July 2000 and went all the way to number one on the ARIA Albums Chart, powered by "Rip It Up", a shouty, bouncing call to arms. The Here We Go EP, with "Sucker", came the same year. Tragedy hit in November 2001, when drummer Scott Murray was struck by a car and killed at just 22. The band pressed on, and Stealing Chairs in 2002 brought "What's the Deal?" and "Take Me Away".
The crowds thinned after Extremist Makeover in 2004, and after a greatest-hits set, 10 Years of Cheap Fame, in March 2007, they split later that year. It didn't stick: they reformed in 2009 to play alongside their old friends Bodyjar, and "Unmarked Graves" in 2015 is the last new music they've put out.
