“Men Like You” reflects on ordinary people becoming extraordinary through their brave choices and courageous actions. Some 40 years ago Irish rebels fighting to free their land were sentenced to the Maze prison in Northern Ireland. Some protested with a hunger strike, and twenty-seven year old Bobby Sands died in the Maze from that protest. They too, were ordinary young men who rose to an extraordinary level of courage and dedication to free their land.

The opening tune, AMERIKA 2021, reflects on a critical time in our history, on the conditions in society that need to be addressed, and with hope for the future expressed by the uplifting outro guitar solo. HOLD ON is a song of the pandemic experience, and the desire to remain focused and positive through the crisis. This exciting hard rock album features newly recorded versions of AMERIKA 2021 and FULL OF ROCK, produced by RICK CITTAR, engineered and mixed by DALE EVERINGHAM (D-Wiz) at SANTO, and mastered by Tom Scheponik

AMERIKA 2021 is the newest release from the AXIS OF FOUR after almost two years and over a hundred sessions in the studio. We are very excited about the sound and impact of these recordings, and we thank you for your support by your purchase from our website. The album has some bonus items - the HQ artwork from the CD and the complete lyrics in pdf format.
Featured is AMERIKA 2021 which decries the chronic problems of our society, and HOLD ON, the song which reflects on the isolation and trepidation evoked by the pandemic health crisis. Also included is a re-make of FULL OF ROCK, a very Sabbath-like tune, and HEY YOU, another rocker that questions the validity of endless war and features a truly uplifting modern anthemic chorus as the outro. Then there is CRAZY FEELING, a pop-metal homage to Ozzy and Randy Rhodes, which features a memorable quote in the second solo.
Written and Produced by RICK CITTAR, engineered and mixed by DALE EVERINGHAM, released by RATSO RECORDING & MUSIC.
