Formed in the winter of 1983, Axminster’s original line-up included vocalist/guitarist Steve Sera, drummer Mike Lamm, bassist Jeff Callan and guitarist Mike Mosca. The band had a WBCN # 1 regional hit with the song Teenage Livin’ and played the WBCN rumble in 1984.
Following up with a 45 rpm and another WBCN #1 song titled Rock n’ Roll Infection, the band added lead guitarist Benny Fiorentino. Bassist Danny Callan took over for brother Jeff in 1985.
Axminster played the Boston club circuit as a headliner as well as opening for bands like Metallica, Alvin Lee, Twisted Sister, Molly Hatchet, Foghat, Extreme and Lita Ford. The band filmed two videos that aired on V-66 but called it quits in the summer of 1986 after showcasing for several major record companies.
In 2003, Axminster, using the name Kick the Dog, recorded and released an 8-song CD titled Territory. Songs off the CD got some airplay and both regional and international magazines and web-sites raved about the “new” band.
In 2009 Axminster, released the CD titled About Face with all new original material. The band still plays shows occasionally and is still making music.
