Love Axe

THE FOOD will be cooked on June 25 2021 The communal feel of the record embraces and encourages its eclectic nature.

Sitting somewhere between the orchestral chamber pop roots of Randy Newman and the melted soundscapes of Ween, each song on Love Axe’s new full-length THE FOOD creates its own unique atmosphere. “This is a record for the desperate weirdo in everyone,” songwriter Chris Hatfield says. Embracing pop in a more ravenous way than before, the songwriting envelops the Stevie Wonder through a smartphone fu

Best buds from The Bay just put out their LONG awaited new album and let me just tell you that it succeeds on all fronts! Very excited for you to check it out and purchase some files.

Hey friends! Super excited to drop this collaboration between Chris and the inestimable Joey Joesph. This is the second of two tracks we worked on together - the first one is here: joey-joesph.bandcamp.com/track/let-out-early. For those of you who aren't familiar with Joey's work, please check him out! He just released a KILLER record called Subliminal Clave that can be found in all of the regular online places as well as right here WHERE YOU CAN BUY IT: joey-joesph.bandcamp.com/album/subliminal-clave. More Love Axe music is in the pipeline, so keep your eyes open and your ears peeled.

Let Out Early, by Joey Joesph (feat. Love Axe) 04/07/2023

Today is bandcamp Friday and have I got something for you!
Chris and (Joey Joesph) got paired up by to write a song together and we came up with 2! bangers (if I may).
The first of these is called Let Out Early, and it started with a seed of an idea Joey had that Chris helped turn into a whole dang song. We got some great notes from our Needle Drop boss, Marisa, and we ended up with something that I couldn’t be happier with.
Enjoy this tune, and be on the lookout for bop #2 in a couple weeks!!!
