Australian Music #1

Day 2,680, 01:47 • Published in Australia Australia • by WyvernJack

We have many international guests in eAustralia.

Some were not invited 😛
Some are heroes of Australia 🙂

And some Aussies might not know these guys that well, but I love them and would recommend, mainly cause no matter what I do, they always end up on my Ipod

So I figured i'd subject you to (offer you) some Australian music I love.

I'm going to start with 28 Days



"28 Days are a punk rock band from Frankston, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. Formed in 1997, the current lineup consists of original members Jay Dunne as lead vocalist, guitarist Simon Hepburn and bassist Damian Gardiner as well as Jason "Jedi" Howard on turntables and drummer Adrian Griffin. The band's previous drummer, Scott Murray, was involved in a fatal accident after being struck by a car on 18 November 2001.

28 Days are known for their rap rock, punk rock and hip hop music. Throughout their recording career, they have released 5 studio albums and 5 EPs, 3 of which debuted in the ARIAnet top 40. This includes certified platinum album Upstyledown which debuted at number 1 in July 2000. The band have also seen commercial success on Australian singles charts, with singles such as 'Rip It Up', 'Goodbye' and 'What's the Deal?' all peaking in the top 100. After declining popularity following their 2004 album Extremist Makeover, the band released a greatest hits album 10 Years of Cheap Fame before announcing their hiatus in 2007.

The band came out of Hiatus in December 2009 to support long time friends Bodyjar on their 'End is Now' Tour. 28 Days have announced that they are currently writing an LP with new drummer Dan Kerby (previously of Behind Crimson Eyes) who joined the band at the beginning of 2011."


So if I could force (offer) an album upon you, it'd be Stealing Chairs.

Songs of theirs you may have heard and may enjoy include their two biggest singles (imo)
Takes Me Away
&
Rip It up


Personally, My favourites are
Deadly Like
&
Just To Make You Happy


Also with a special mention to this song which was dedicated to their former Drummer Scott Murray who died tragically
Stealing Chairs

Any suggestions for bands will be read and promptly ignored 🙂
