Axe was formed in 1977 out of the ashes of \u201cBabyface\u201d, a Hard Rock band burdened with a top 20 hit… but on the Adult Contemporary Charts. The band was brought together by leader\u00a0Bobby Barth. Pulling members from all over America to Gainesville Florida, where they lived in one house, wrote music, and practiced.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BobbyBarth,\u00a0Michael Osborne,\u00a0Michael Turpin,Teddy Mueller\u00a0And Edgar J. Riley Jr
Axe was different in that the makeup of the band were all veterans of many years playing clubs and cover music, 4 lead singers, and all writers. Signing a deal before they ever played a gig. The band signed to MCA for 2 records, later on to Atco for 2 records, where they had success with the anthemic song Rock and Roll Party in the Streets\u201d touring with almost every major act on the road.\u00a0Judas Priest, Ozzy,\u00a0Deep Purple, Kiss,\u00a0Motley Crue, Cheap Trick,\u00a0ZZ Top, and quickly became a touring staple in the arena rock world. The upward momentum ended tragically in the summer of 1984 when Micheal Osborne and\u00a0Bobby Barth\u00a0were involved in an automobile accident where Osborne was killed and Barth received a broken neck, but was able to recover. Not having the heart to continue without his best friend Osborne, Axe ended that day and rested Until the 1990\u2019s, Axe once again rose from the ashes to record \u201cFive\u201d their fifth record and then onto the Crown, 20 Years From Home Volume 1 and 2, an Axe Anthology \u201cAxeology\u201d a DVD live from Sweden Rock in 2012, and now finishing their final record\u2026”Axe the Final Offering” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
