Intro track List personnel List song info album info

The album "Infinity Rock Explosion" is the second album from Australian Comedy Rock band, The Axis of Awesome. This album features twenty songs including two of the bands most popular tracks, Bird Plane and 4-Chord Song. The Album was released on February 12, 2010. It has only received the highest of reviews, including 5 Stars from iTunes.

"Four Chords" is one of The Axis of Awesome's best-known works. It is a medley of popular songs that all follow the same chord progression. The work is an attempt to outline the perceived formulaic nature of popular music. The "Four Chords," in Roman numeral analysis, are written I - V - vi - IV. However the band also uses a vi - IV - I - V, usually from the song "Save Tonight" to the song "Torn". The band plays the song in the key of E so the progression they use is E-B-C#m-A. Many of the songs featured in the medley have been transposed from their original keys.

The medley of songs that composes the Four Chords song is continually varied, often incorporating new releases. The Axis' song Birdplane is always included (itself a parody of the Five for Fighting song Superman).
