"Highroad No. 28 exemplifies all that affirms life, and the quality of perseverance in the face of grave adversity. It is a force that embodies the very fundaments of the universe: chaos, change, endurance and energy." So says Andrew J. Cantwell, Highroad No. 28 founder.
Since the bands beginnings in late 1998, they have released two EP's: Obscure Madness (1999), and Dynamic Introspection (2002). Both EP's are testament to the determination, perseverance and affliction inherent to the band. "Those two EP's are replete with anguish, terror, and pain, but throughout the songs there is the unequivocal element of endurance and 'die-hard, never-give-in' attitude" states Andrew further.
After a plethora of live shows from 2003 - 2005, the band released their debut album "Unsteady and Steady State" on December 8th. The album was somewhat of a musical departure from the bands earlier two EP's, musically, their was much more melody, effects, and colourful sounds... lyrically their was songs which contained subject matter which was upbeat, gleeful and happy, but the 'light' lyrical side was kept in check by some very painful introspective lyrics... yet, even these retained the 'never-give-in' attitude aforementioned.
2006 saw the band solidifying their live show, playing a plethora of Sydney shows, national touring and endless promotion, both and National and International of "Unsteady and Steady State".
2007 promises to be a very significant year with the band. In addition to further National touring, Highroad No. 28 enter the studio to record their 2nd album
