Background and Recording
“It all stemmed from my live shows” Deisel said. He was doing shows in Sydney and Melbourne and performing covers; "Liberation Records heard about it and said, ‘you’ve got to make a record like that’. So we have!” Diesel and his band recorded 18 songs live in the studio in 8 days. 6 of these appear on the 7 Axes EP, [5]
Reviews
Rod Whitfield from Beat Magazine said the EP was "standard" saying "[Diesel] does [the covers] well, with both his voice and guitar playing predictably shining through. Does he make them his own? No. That's the problem." [6]
