A couple weeks ago, we got to sit down the Montreal-based band, Azulov right before they headed off for their tour of the East coast! Azulov, made up of Artoim Carelov, Will Coté-Munreoe (of The Space Wizards), and Brydone Charlton (who graduated from @acadiaumusic in 2016), talked about inspirations, writing process, recording, and all things music.

Thanks to a generous donation from Axe Radio alumni, we have been able to make some much-needed upgrades to our broadcasting setup! 

Luke Ehler (Director '16-17) and Blake Ward (Director '17-18) reached out with an offer to help us upgrade our technology. Thanks to their help, we were able to purchase a brand new soundboard as well as headphones.

Additionally, thanks to all the student support from last year through merch sales and events, Axe Radio was able to fundraise enough to purchase a new desktop computer, allowing us to stream reliably. 

Axe Radio would like to extend a tremendous Thank You to everyone who supports this station and allows for upgrades like these.
