Eight Days Away is the debut studio album by Australian punk rock band One Dollar Short. It was released in May 2002 and peaked at number 7 on the ARIA Charts.
Steve from Punk News gave the album 4 out of 5 saying "Eight Days Away is an album loaded with catchy pop punk with an emo edge but it's not quite emo-punk... The second track 'Is This the Part?' has been getting an enormous amount of airplay throughout Australia. This song is pure pop punk, with a backing of vocal harmonies and contains some catchy hooks. The subject matter, as you can guess, is mainly relationships but it is written in a thoughtful and mature way and the best of these songs is 'Satellite'. This is pretty fast, the intro is reminiscent of early Blink 182 and the song contains some delicious melodies." Steve concluded saying "One thing I did find with this album was that I wasn't sure which song I was listening to and the songs seem to suffer from a similar structure but it was an enjoyable disc and I recommend it to those who enjoy pop-punk but with a slight spin on it."[1]
