About Me

The Axis are a 60's influenced acid rock power trio from Dallas, Texas. We play our own shit and sometimes new and old stuff like Led Zeppelin, The Hendrix Experience, The Who, and Cream to name a few. The Axis is Hunter Johnston(bass/vocals), Cory West (guitar/vocals) and Bobby Schattle(drums). We have just released our 2nd album, "Electric Moon" and are playing shows in the D/FW area. Check it out if you dig.
