If you have never heard of Battle Axe, don’t be alarmed. I’d never heard the name either. Those that have been “in the know” for 30 years are the lucky ones, but even coming late to the game, it’s a damn good thing. Hailing from the great state of Wisconsin, Battle Axe delighted their devoted legions of fans, and now it is time (albeit 30 years later) that the band can unveil their music upon the world. Their debut, and only full length, album We’re On The Attack was released in 1985 and it features a stellar collection of songs with melodic hard rock. I’m not going to say that Battle Axe had the potential of rivalling the big dogs of that bygone era, but they could’ve been a band talked about in the same breath as the next tier down. Battle Axe is a lost gem that is finding its chance to make a new audience and perhaps get their name talked about again. We’re On the Attack is a fantastic album, and true treasure that more than deserve to be heard by the masses.
