28 Days


Alot of punk bands come, and almost as many go. 28 Days are a band that have made it to the decade mark. Only just, but they made it. They're being modest and calling it 10 years of cheap fame, but as any band in the alternative scene in Australia knows, making it past a year is some pretty hard work.

When I think of cheap fame I think of a pop star that has songs written for them, video clips made for them, extra stage people dancing for them and well, pretty much everything done for them. For 28 Days to make the claim of cheap fame they're obviously being very, very modest. Even if there are some people out there claiming that both their latest release and tour title of '10 years of cheap fame' is something anywhere close to applicable they're going to have to eat their words when they see their tour list.


 

Intercooler
Forever or Whatever
Shock

Since the vague label of rock music encompasses such a disproportionately enormous number of artists, it's especially tough for a struggling band in the area to stand out but it's such a delightful surprise when they do. Intercooler's second album in almost five years, thankfully, is one of those rare occurrences to achieve the latter rather than the former. This Brisbane band deliver a collection of songs which are surprisingly diverse, interesting, and at best, pretty damn catchy.
