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]
