Ax and The Hatchetmen release their debut album So Much To Tell You, out now via Arista Records. Earlier this month, they released the breezy single, “Oasis,” the band’s first release since July’s Constant Change EP. This week, they kicked off their North American tour, featuring sold-out shows in Los Angeles, Boston, Denver, and more. Buy/Stream So Much to Tell You HERE and see all tour dates below.
So Much to Tell You includes some of the already fan-favorite songs heard on theConstant Change EP, a dizzy swirl of gritty garage-rock, psychedelic jangle, and jammy dynamism brought to life in part by storied producer Jake Sinclair (Panic! At The Disco, Weezer) who not only connected the group with their hero Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes for the explosive lead single “Blurry Lights,” but also helped source a long-lost Rivers Cuomo demo for the sunny, carefree cut “7×9.”Also joining the LP tracklist are the racing bliss bomb of an early single “Stay // Honestly” and “Hotel Room,” an infectious tune that captures the ache of long-distance romance (and whose lyrics give the album its title).
Following the release of Constant Change, the band sat down for in-depth chats with The Luna Collective and Melodic Mag, and also hit the road for a summer run supporting Fitz and the Tantrums on their Man on the Moon Tour. Frontman Axel Ellis just wrapped up his tour with The Runarounds, the rock band at the center of the fictional Prime Video high school music drama series The Runarounds, in which he costars as Neil Crosby.
For their current headliner, Ax and The Hatchetmen are joined by a rotating cast of talented friends: Edgehill, Kids That Fly, Foxtide, Good Boy Daisy, and John-Robert. Experience the band’s freewheeling live chemistry at a date below, and listen to their first full-length statement, the fittingly titled So Much to Tell You.
