ABOUT Ax and the Hatchetmen
Ax and the Hatchetmen came here to party. The six-piece indie rock band from Chicago, led by singer and guitarist Axel Ellis, have been headlining tours and releasing music since 2018. Rounding out the rest of the band are the Hatchetmen- made up of Salvatore Defilippis on guitar, Hunter Olshefke on bass, Nick Deputy on drums, Phil Pistone on trumpet and Quinn Dolan on saxophone.
The group have released multiple singles and EPs since signing with Arista Records in 2023, including their latest collection, the “Constant Change” EP which features Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes on the single “Blurry Lights”. They plan on touring and releasing music for the foreseeable future.

Ax and the Hatchetmen talk to Tower Records
Versatile, crowd-pleasing, organic, and elevating are only a few words often used to describe the fast-rising Chicago-based indie sextet, Ax and the Hatchetmen.
Comprised of lead singer Axel Ellis, guitarist Sal Defilippis, bassist Hunter Olshefke, drummer Nick Deputy, trumpeter Phil Pistone, and saxophonist Quinn Dolan, the six-piece band channels a vast array of influences spanning generations and genres alike to channel just about everyone.
Following the March 15th, 2024 release of their brand new single “Where tf Did I Park My Car?,” we sat down with band members Axel and Sal before their New York City show at the Mercury Lounge to talk about the sextet’s journey and what more is to come.
