Axe-wing



Axe-wing was a Pomona band circa 79-81 featuring the guy pictured above. Henry Barnes (the Dull, Amps for Christ, Man is the Bastard), Marz (Pyramids on Mars, Auto de Fe), and Roland Thunder (the Dull). There are touches of hard rock, psychedelia, and even Allan Holdsworth-style jazz fusion. Some of the live blues tracks towards the end are less exciting, but this should appeal to fans of 70s hardrock, as well as to Amps for Christ afficianados. Marz plays lead guitar and sings on most of the tracks, I think. The lo-fi quality on some of the tracks only adds to the charm, imo. Sadly, drummer Roland Thunder passed away several years ago. This may be the first time that these tracks were made available to the general public. I may post more Marz music in the future. Link in comments.
