Ax and the Hatchetmen

Check out was hours ago, but Ax and the Hatchetmen aren’t leaving. The indie rock six piece, fronted by Axel Ellis, hit the road this fall for the “Late Check Out Tour” — a coast to coast run bringing their sunburnt guitars and jangly tunes to the masses. What started in high school hallways outside Chicago has grown into a band with millions of listeners, diehard fans, and nearly a decade of life on the road.
