The four-member unit, comprising HA YOO JOON, KIM SHIN, CRU, and JU HWAN, took to the stage with an unbridled energy that left the crowd breathless. As they launched into their self-titled album's opening track, "Amplify," it was clear that AxMxP was not just another rookie group – they were here to shake up the K-pop scene. The name AxMxP (pronounced A-M-P) is more than just a clever moniker; it represents the band's mission to amplify their music and voices through every performance. And, judging by their debut showcase, they're well on their way to achieving that goal. With a setlist that traversed punk rock, rock ballad, modern pop-rock, and hip-hop rock, AxMxP effortlessly transitioned between genres, showcasing their versatility and musicianship. FNC Entertainment, the agency behind P1Harmony and AOA's 2014 hit "Miniskirt," has long been a driving force in K-pop. Their legacy as one of the early drivers of band music's mainstream popularity is still felt today. But with AxMxP, they're introducing a new chapter in their storied history – one that promises to be just as exciting. "We've spent years honing our craft through club gigs and joint concerts," HA YOO JOON shared during an exclusive interview. "We wanted to create music that would resonate with fans of all ages and genres." And, judging by the crowd's enthusiastic response, they're well on their way to achieving that goal. AxMxP's journey began long before their official debut on September 10th. The members have been performing together for years, refining their sound and style through countless live shows. CRU, the band's drummer, recalled their early days: "We'd play anywhere – from small clubs to street festivals. It was exhilarating, but also humbling. We knew we had a lot to learn." That dedication paid off when FNC Entertainment took notice of AxMxP's potential. The label has been instrumental in nurturing the band's growth, providing them with the resources and guidance needed to take their music to the next level. As AxMxP continues to make waves in the K-pop scene, fans are eagerly anticipating what's next for this talented quartet. With their debut album already gaining traction on Billboard charts, it's clear that they're not just a rookie group – they're here to stay. In an industry where trends come and go, AxMxP's unique sound and style are sure to leave a lasting impact. As KIM SHIN, the band's guitarist-vocalist, put it: "We want our music to be a reflection of who we are as individuals – raw, honest, and unapologetic."
