7 Axes is an extended play (EP) (or Mini-LP) by Australian singer songwriter Diesel. It was released in February 2011 and sees Diesel paying homage to the artists and musicians that have inspired him. [1] The EP follows a national tour which Diesel completed in November 2010. [2] Diesel toured this EP in March and April 2011. [3]
" Have Love, Will Travel" was released as the first and only single from the album on 4 January 2011. [4]
Background and recording
"It all stemmed from my live shows" Diesel 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]
