"Axecaliber" prides itself in the promotion of the undiscovered heavyrock artist. The integrity kept is one that upholds an uncompromising attitude towards the talents of the musicians while keeping the music heavy. The term "heavyrock" associates the lead-guitar as the ultimate instrument of power, passion and precision. Sheer brilliance in guitar riffs and solos are held in the highest order. Equally important are the many elite and dynamic vocal personas found in this rising, new musical arena. It's the guitar work wizardry that brings together the musical genres of rock, metal, blues, and progressive to form "heavyrock"...the sound for the new millenium.

Big Electric Geno is the self-proclaimed guru and music officianado of heavyrock music. With over 30 years of pioneering in the heavyrock underground, he is able to bring to the airwaves an endless list of great songs and artists from yesterday and today. Come share in the wealth!
