The multi-pronged artist JR Brennan, on vocals and production, led 90s grindcore act Flycop (on the label Spiral Objective) and infamous Berlin-based electronic duo Theatre Of Disco (Risky Disco / Future Classic). Sam Dowson, on drums and machines, has been an extreme metal drummer and producer for Mephistopheles, Milquebarth and RVNKNG. Neither are strangers to subversion by day, either, having been a parole officer and a lawyer respectively.
The duo, from Nipaluna/Hobart, chased You Snake with a series of shows at Dark Mofo in 2023 that NME listed in the top five performances of the festival. The AXON BREEZE live experience pushes the boundaries of heavy music, with intense bursts of post punk and hyperpop bridged with passages of drawn-out doom. Their unsettling soundscapes aim for the underbelly, and straddle the juncture of the dancefloor, the pit and performance art.
