"Highroad No. 28 exemplifies all that affirms life, and the quality of perseverance in the face of grave adversity" 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 2005. 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 was a significant year for the band. In addition to further National touring, and further local shows, Highroad No. 28 started pre-production on their second album .

Early 2008 saw the band play further local shows before 'hibernating' for a period of time to work further on their second album. July 2008 saw them wrap up all work on the album, which included over a year's worth of mixing, writing and refining.

The new album, the bands second, entitled "Stumbling To Divinity" was released on August 14, 2008.

The album is a journey into the dark (and light) recesses of human experience, once again focusing on the potential of the human will to overcome affliction. Sonically it comprises of strong rhythms, emotive melodies, and ambient electronica.

The band will follow this release with a plethora of local shows, national and international touring.
