Axis Of are a three-piece alternative rock band from Portstewart, Northern Ireland.^[1] The band is composed of Niall Lawlor (guitar, vocals) and Ewen Friers (bass, vocals).

History[]

Axis Of formed in 2007, and after various line up changes they released debut single "Brobdingnagian" in late 2009, launching in Belfast in January 2010.^[2] Since early 2010 the band have enjoyed a rise in popularity, partly due to the release of their second single "Port Na Spaniagh", which was released along with a music video, available on YouTube.^[3]

Following one of the band's UK tours in early 2010, Rock Sound magazine dubbed them "the most exciting band to come out of Northern Ireland, possibly ever" and gave them a 9/10 rating for their live performance at a show in Newcastle.^{[citation needed]} As a result of this coverage the band were subsequently asked to take part in a Maida Vale Studios session in January 2011.^[4]

On 10 October 2012 they announced that they signed with Derry based label Smalltown America Records.^[5] Their début album was released in Autumn 2012 and titled Finding St Kilda.^[5]
