Just wanted to update everyone on what is going on. First off we are extremely excited to see that Daybreak has hit #24 on the US charts. It is great to have a debut EP that generates that kind of buzz. We are writing this update from the studio, the songs are all written for the debut album and we even have the album titled, Welcome to the Wasteland. Over the next few weeks we are going to be releasing some studio takes of from the debut album sessions on the website, culminating in the release of a streaming version of the album available for listen the day before the album launch.

Just got done recording the B-sides for the first single off the debut album. The single is Section 10: Survivors and it was chosen for its upbeat pop-radio friendly sound. We also put a couple covers we did on it. The first one is Dreaming of You which is a cover of a song by The Coral, if you haven't heard this one before here is a link to the original version. Click Me! The second cover is one we expect everyone to know, Roxanne by The Police. Of course if you haven't heard it, here is link. Click Me! The single is also up and available for listening online so check it out.

Money and Labels
by Mike Peck

Well we are getting down to business with the album and it is not pretty. Since we haven't been able to find a label we have to finance the record ourselves and that includes the expensive distribution and marketing aspects. I hate worrying about the financial situation when I want to be in the studio concentrating on the music. With as well as our last album did we figured some level of label interest would be headed our way but we just haven't got a single nibble. Tim is laying down some guitar tracks right now and when he is done I think I have to go do some vocals. The second EP is almost finished although without label support we may have to do a limited run of it since we would like to focus our funds on distributing the album. We will make sure to get the EP up online for streaming as quickly as we can so anyone who wants to hear it can hear it. I am really happy with the way this EP has turned out, we tried some different recording techniques and I like what they have done to the overall sound and vibe. I don't want to tell you anymore about it, you will just have to hear it.

Sophomore Album Release Date and Other Stuff
by Tim Dunn

So we have some great news from the studio. The second album is finished and is scheduled for release on Wednesday December 9, 2009. We have also decided to rename the album, the original title was something we wanted to save for the future. The new title for the album is Tales of a Wasteland Hero. Expect the first reviews of the album up early next week. We are also going to put the album up online for listening for a special preview on Tuesday December 8, 2009 for two hours from 5 PM to 7PM EST. All you need to access the preview is a membership to our website. We hope you guys enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed recording it.

On another note we are working out details for some live shows, our first since before the Daybreak EP. Just to forewarn you however, these won't be us playing the songs on the albums, we don't want to hire touring band members and cannot reproduce our studio sound with two people live. Instead we are doing a kind of, I guess you may call it side-project, but we still call ourselves Axiom. Mike and I are going to be doing some acoustic guitar/piano duet shows. We are going to be at Midwinter Mashfest and are also working out details to open for PANIC! on some dates on the U.S. leg of there final tour before their hiatus. These are going to be fun and relaxed shows that will let us play some new material that isn't part of the Axiom Saga as well as some fun covers. For tickets to either event check the links below.

Blogging from Mashfest
by Mike Peck

So we are at Mashfest right now and going through some last minute stuff like finalizing the setlist and some other small stuff. The set we are doing is all acoustic guitar and piano and will feature the debut of a whole lot of new songs. Depending on the Mashfest policies we hope to present a live online stream of the show and get the performance video archived online for future viewing. For those of you who will be there to watch us perform we hope you enjoy us and the rest of the awesome mashfest lineup.

As far as our next step, we are stepping away from the Axiom Saga. There is one album left to do but we are going to move away and record some other stuff for our next album. We aren't ready to tell you exactly what we are planning yet but it will be decidedly different from the other stuff we have done.

Updates and some other info
by Tim Dunn

Ok so Roots did not do as well as we had hoped. Mike and I both felt that we put a lot of our energy, heart, and soul into that album. We are moving past that. The new single The Auto Effect has done quite well both commercially and critically. We are also working on writing the conclusion to the "Axiom Saga" and that record should be out sometime in around the end of April or early May.

The most exciting news for us is that Mike and I are working on creating a jazz combo. Focusing on creating a small sextet or septet. The the plan is to have Mike on piano and then I will fill in wherever needed. We are looking to get a drummer, bassist, trumpeter, tenor and alto saxes, and a guitarist. We will have more info when we get more concrete work done.
