The A.X.I.S. project was born in 1999. The band from Valle d'Aosta, initially formed by Axis (voice and bass), Francesco-C (guitar) and Manuel (drums), began its adventure performing on the stages of north-west Italy. The first album, lovenoisechild (2000), contains 9 tracks that talk about love, loneliness and anger. The singles River of Innocence and Mindfields find space between the ballads (Mary Jane e Christmas Day), the hard rock of Injustice's Kingdom and the surreal atmospheres of Sandeman. A live cover of I wanna be yo Daddy enriches the alternative rock contents of the album.

Between 2000 and 2001 the A.x.i.s. play continuously on the stages of festivals and in the smallest venues of Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta. In the meantime Francesco-C leaves the band to devote himself to his solo project. In his place comes Phil, a rocky guitarist with an unmistakable sound. Phil brings his contribution to the band, which in 2001 is back in the studio to record a new album: The Dark Side. The disc contains 10 rock songs, contaminated by minimal electronics. The singles Born in Olympus and Mindkiller anticipate the release of the album which enjoys good success and various appreciations from national critics.

After participating in the Concert pour l'Autonimie, in 2003, the band stops. Axis is dedicated to work and other forms of art. In 2020 he returns to play in an improvised band with his lifelong friends (Phil and Mr. C): the S.T.C. and in 2022 he reactivates the A.x.i.s., thanks to the knowledge of the guitarist DEV and the drummer TARELLO. After a few concerts, the band enters the studio to record a single that has caused much discussion for the topic addressed: School is an Invitation to Suicide.
