Baxie talks with singer/songwriter Janet Devlin. This is a truly amazing conversation with a woman who has gone from being a 16-year-old girl from Northern Ireland to being thrust into the national spotlight as an X Factor finalist. And if her story stopped there it would still be a hell of a story. But Janet’s story is MUCH more than that. Instead, Janet has battled alcohol abuse, and eating disorder, and mental illness—only to come out on the other side healthier and stronger than ever before.

In 2023 she produced a powerful documentary entitled “Janet Devlin: Young Female and Addicted”. She's also just released an expanded, deluxe edition of her 2024 album “Not My First Emotional Rodeo”. It’s a MUST listen to interview! Listen on Apple, YouTube, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app!

(Ep. #266) Singer Janet Devlin

A 26-track odyssey through sin, collapse, rebirth, empire, and war.

After a month-long hiatus, AxAxC returns with the most ambitious project in our history — a violent, emotional, and mythic exploration of the human condition.
This album is built on deathcore, nu-metal, liturgy-core, and Christian rock, fused with orchestral suites, Norse epics, spoken-word interludes, and cinematic war narration.

This is an album about burning down the version of yourself that’s killing you.
It opens in the trenches of addiction and internal collapse (“By Sin and Self-Destruction,” “My Demons,” “On My Own”), descends into despair and self-destruction (“I Tried to Be Free,” “Lose It All Again”), and hits its emotional breaking point in the ritualistic centerpiece Self-Immolation Ceremony.

From there, the album rises into myth — with Norse war-cries, celestial hauntings, phoenix-like rebirth, and dirges for doubt and fear.
Then, suddenly, the horizon shifts.
The personal becomes political.
And the final arc transforms into a historical epic — a prelude to AxAxC’s upcoming projects:
The Path of War and Democracy.

“The Rise of Evil” retells the beginning of WW2 as a warning.
“Support • Defend • Democracy” declares the album’s stance.
“Dulce et Decorum” channels war poetry into a modern metal requiem.

The final track, “Lento Bliss,” returns the listener to fragile humanity —
a reminder that after war, both inner and outer…
we still have to live.

This album is a journey.
A confession.
A requiem.
A resurrection.

This is Abolition with Self-Immolation.
Burn the old self.
Rise from the ash.

Drowning

Cutting through cold night air, emerging from the shadows, "In The Dark" is central to our Must Be Something Missing LP, its title echoed in the main refrain. 
A gritty, uptempo Alt/Punk lament on addiction & existential emptiness. Charging into oblivion, it ignites & burns from the inside out: Craving something meaningful to fill a void. Spiky guitars, pounding drums & resonant synths shift from ambient to mechanical whirring; creating a cinematic backdrop as solemn, intimate vocals unravel into urgency.

New LP "Must Be Something Missing" & Single "In The Dark"  released on Soundcloud 1 Dec 25' -  SickRichard is an Alt Rock/ Post Punk trio that has spent the last several years carving out a reputation in the London club scene for their hard-hitting, no-nonsense live performances.
Their music channels the raw frustration of a fractured modern world, pairing hazy synths and moody grooves with explosive hooks that appeal to the disillusioned and disaffected. 
With a gritty, high-energy sound and genre-defying edge, they blend influences from Punk, Hard Rock and Indie with electronica and psychedelia. The latest single "In The Dark" from their  LP was released on 14 November.
