8. Any more words?

Mike Kerr told NME Where Are You Now is inspired by the character Ritchie Finestra from Vinyl “talking about the first time you hear a song that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up or made you wanna dance or kick someone’s arse. I just wanted to write a song that gave me that kind of buzz.”

“You saw me driving my car,

Like a dog running wild”

28 Days are a punk rock rap band from Melbourne, Australia. Slamming it hard since 1997 they have four long players on their roll of rock'n'roll honor and are still going strong. Rip It Up is the band's highest charting tune and bounced off the bands second album Upstyledown (2000) that debuted at number one in Australia and is, the AU Review say, “cemented in the Australian music culture as the voice of an Australian generation.”

“Rippin it on the mic, it’s like we gettin hype.

To the old school 80’s hard rock hip hop riff like this”
