Exclusive video premiere of ‘axl au stade’ by instrumental grunge trio AXLAUSTADE.

‘axl au stade’ is the lead single from AXLAUSTADE’S debut LP of the same name, out November 19th on La Tribu. Self described, as grunge of the future as a new path, an instrumental friendship, ‘axl au stade’ showcases the band’s modern approach to a beloved genre.

AXLAUSTADE, an instrumental grunge trio hailing from Montréal, announce their debut LP of the same name, ‘AXLAUSTADE’ via La Tribu. The lead single ‘axl au stade’ will be released on all US digital service providers September 24th. Distorted and reverb heavy with nods to icons of grunge/shoegaze past, ‘axl au stade’ stakes out this Montreal trio’s place in grunge’s future.

Recorded in Montréal by Èric Lamothe, mixed in Los Angeles by Justin Raisen (Kim Gordon, Viagra Boys, Charli XCX) and mastered in LA by Mike Bozzi (Grammy award winner – ‘This Is America’, Childish Gambino.)

“It’s a clin-d’oeil to the riot that took place in 1992 at the Montreal Olympic Stadium, after Axl Rose told everybody to go home and quit the stage 20 minutes or so in the set. Metallica’s show was also stopped when James Hetfield was badly injured by pyrotechnics. Faith No More was the only band that played an entire set that night. The Expos were in Philadelphia that night. The song opens with feedback and a massive drum and bass guitar pickup. It gives the impression that you’re in the middle of the crowd. The guitar plays a solid theme and switches from minor to major which gives the feeling of openness and urgency.” AXLAUSTADE
