Soundtrack : Axis Of
Craaaaazy busy today peepahs…I got involved in a photography project and will be documenting Changes today. Bear with me while I’m gone (I’ll reward you for it in the week) and while you’re kicking your heels awaiting my return, check out the latest Soundtrack interview with Ewan Friers from Derry Punk band Axis Of…

Derry’s Axis Of combine punk riffs and conscience to build songs about humans, politics and philosophy. Sickeningly young, the band released their debut album The Echo Conspiracy in 2008 and plan to follow up 2009 with a new EP, modestly prescribed as “the greatest thing the world has ever heard”. Drop-D waded in to test how deep Ewan Friers‘ musicial ripples spread…
Drop-D: Can you pigeonhole your tastes into one particular genre or do your preferences spread through an array of influences?
Ewan: I listen to as much as I can. This sounds a bit like your typical - ‘I’m so diverse, I listen to everything!’ spiel, but I really do think it’s important to absorb as much music and as many different styles as possible. It’s mad to think you’ll like everything, but the more music the better – it’s fresh. That’s how I see it anyway.
Drop-D: What triggered your musical infatuation? Was it a certain band/person/style/age?
Ewan: That’s a really difficult question to answer. I don’t think I can put it down to anything specific. I’ve always lived in an environment where music is really important. Though I could say around the age of 11-12 I started to view music differently and became far more passionate about it around that time than I had been before. Who knows?!
