The music started long ago with a successful and driven high school rock group. The band Maxwell Prod played rock, punk and blues all over the Columbia River Gorge. It proved a formative musical experience.

Axiom to Zeal began versatile in style and size, while members attended college and branched out into musical and other endeavors. Singer/songwriter Joshua Lind performed in intimate acoustic settings. Drummer Kris played with Jazz and rock bands as well as hip-hop production. The group played shows mixing rock classics and original songs, like a weekly ‘Thirsty Thursday’ in a college town.

Now Axiom to Zeal remains Josh’s solo project.

To toss out a few genres labels, the music is: acoustic, folk-rock, indie, emo, alternative, roots, etc. The music is often a lovers#8217; journal or scraps of coversations, granted a strick No-Emo-Lyrics-Pledge. The band combines small-town sincerity, a love of rock’s character and modern life.

“I realized one day that I tell the future in my songs. My goal is to shut-up and write subconsciously. Then I end up with honesty and what’s hard to say… the best part of any music. Rock is America’s culture and honesty it's the foundation of the future.”

A first class ride to hell leaves plenty of time for introspection… this is why A-to-Z is found in America writing today.

Construct yourself again, from scratch. You'll never have a handle on your own psychosis; stop for a second and look around. The world is full of sleeping people, but at least we may be dreaming.
