“A swaggering leather-clad figure, eyes hidden under a veil of black hair and a half-cocked top hat dances to the tune of a dirty Les Paul. Venting poison with a hail of feedback, Axe shrieks with a razor-tongued sneer that ignites the crowd.” – Seattle Post Intelligencer
Ted Axe is part of Canadian Punk Rock history as the notorious and legendary front man for The Action-“Canada’s First) Punk Band”. Opening for The Stranglers and chosen to tour with The Ramones, The Action garnered more press in one year than most self-respecting punk bands get in a lifetime and Ted became known as an entertaining provocateur and a powerful vocalist. The Action released one EP on Montreco Records containing their hit “TV’s On The Blink” and then in true punk tradition self-destructed.
Ted has led his own bands since then and has lived and performed in London, LA and Seattle eventually forming Sister Hyde there. and signing to Steel Heart Records in 2007.
With his new self-release SEX, HORROR,V IOLENCE produced by Rob Sanzo (Sum 41), and mastered by LA Rock icon, Jack Atlantis, Ted is getting world-wide radio-play and recognition. He is currently performing dates in Canada and The US with his new band.
”Riffs that kill combined with a look that thrills are a no better way to describe Ted Axe. A seasoned Veteran who has trekked the world and accumulated an outstanding list of accomplishments in the process that will make even the harshest of Critics say “wow!”.
After years of fronting such bands as The Action -along with Sister Hyde, Ted has unleashed his new album entitled “Sex Horror Violence” as a solo artist -yet backed up by a smash-mouth Band of musical brilliance comprised of Marcel La Fleur (lead guitar), Corrado Bartolo (bass), Jules Biafore (rhythm guitar) and Stefan Ford (drums).” – Now Magazine
