Axe was formed in 1978 from the ashes of a mid-western band called Babyface. They began recording their first album, "Axe," in 1979 and started a tour that lasted until 1984. Their second album, "Livin On The Edge," followed in 1980. In 1981, Axe changed labels and recorded "Offering" for ATCO Atlantic featuring the hit "Rock and Roll Party In the Streets." The song reached #59 on the Billboard charts of the most-played-songs in 1982, and became a nationwide rock anthem. After 18 months of touring with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, The Scorpions, ZZ Top and Motley Crue, it was time to record the fourth Axe album - "Nemesis." Continued success meant more touring and writing new songs for the fifth album. However, tragedy struck the band when Mike Osborne was killed and Bobby Barth was seriously injured in a car crash. This accident led to Barth disbanding Axe and later joining Blackfoot. After his stint with Blackfoot, Barth took his talents to Australia to join Angry Anderson (Rose Tattoo), hitting the Top 5 on the Australian charts. In recent years, Barth has emerged as a renowned producer of melodic rock. Axe has reformed with original members Barth, Edgar Riley and Teddy Mueller, and now with Bob Harris (Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Warren Zevon, Ant Bee) adding his talents on keyboards and lead vocals.
