We are AXLS, an electronic trio formed in 2018 in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Our synth-led sound features
dreamy female vocals and low slung bass.
Our debut album - 'First Contact' - is an electronic concept album which explores the story of
Earth's first encounter with an extraterrestrial race. The newcomers enslave humanity with their
addictive, immersive virtual reality. Only Alias, a young girl, has the power to resist and lead the
fight back. Each song represents a chapter of the story.
If concept albums aren't usually your thing, read our below reviews and you may just change your
mind!

First Contact is an electronic concept album which explores the story of Earth's first encounter with

Are you ready to take on aliens and save the Earth? Help Alias defend humanity against the Boneships,
only you have what it takes.
'First Contact: The Game' is a free to play game which takes inspiration from the classic retro era
of video games. It places the player directly in the action of our story as they take on the alien
enemies in their ‘Boneships’, all set to tracks from the album. The enemies slowly get more
persistent as the game goes on and you will eventually meet the boss – mother Boneship (as seen
featured on our album art)!
