Axiomatic (album)

Axiomatic is the third studio album by Australian rock band Taxiride, released in September, 2005. Three singles were taken from this album, " Oh Yeah", "You Gotta Help Me" and "What Can I Say". Taxiride made it clear in interviews leading up to the release of this album that they would be breaking away from the radio-friendly pop-rock sound of their two previous albums, and instead they would adopt a more hard-rock feel. The album peaked at No. 91 in Australia in September 2005. Singer-songwriter Chris Bailey, from the Australian punk rock band, The Saints, co-wrote the song 'Everything + Nothing', also featured on their live album Electrophobia. Axiomatic was released in Australia, Japan, India and South East Asia.
