Originally influenced by bands like Sick Of It All, CIV and the Beastie Boys and more recently Rival Schools, Saves The Day and System Of A Down the original 28 Days recordings were released through a small independent label. The band started touring around Australia behind that release, fine-tuning the skills to pay the bills. A few ripples caused by their reputation for putting on awesome live shows bought them to the attention of a new label, Sputnik. That label's first release was an ep "Here We Go". Radio was quick to jump on the band-wagon with the first single "Sucker" receiving national airplay and gave 28 Days their first taste of mainstream success with a #21 spot on the singles chart.
