Axiom were an Australian country rock band formed in May 1969. Founding mainstays were Brian Cadd on lead vocals and piano, Don Mudie on bass guitar (both ex-the Groop), Glenn Shorrock on lead vocals (ex-the Twilights) and Chris Stockley on lead guitar (ex-Cam-Pact). Don Lebler on drums (ex-the Avengers) replaced Doug Lavery (ex-the Valentines) in the following year. They released two studio albums, Fool's Gold (June 1970) and If Only... (September 1971), but had disbanded before the latter appeared. Their top 10 singles are "Arkansas Grass" (1969), "A Little Ray of Sunshine" (1970) and "My Baby's Gone" (1971). Fool's Gold was listed in the book 100 Best Australian Albums (October 2010).
