Coming soon to DVD and VOD from Shiny Object: Boston punk rock legends
Unnatural Axe in You'll Pay For This!
Formed in 1977 in a Boston basement, Unnatural Axe became fixtures at The
Rat, Cantone's and The Paradise, and brought their chaotic two and three
chord punk throughout New England and New York, including CBGB's. Between
1977 and 1980, Unnatural Axe played countless shows and opened for bands
such as The Dictators, The Plasmatics, Mission of Burma, and even The
Police and Squeeze. Breaking up in 1980, Unnatural Axe has reformed
numerous times for shows over the years and still occasionally
play. Despite attracting the attention of Arista Records, Unnatural Axe
only released a single 7" EP in the three years they were originally
together - one that is highly sought after today. Since then, they have
been featured on the Mass Ave comp released by Rhino, and on one
of the highest-rated Killed By Death compilations, as well as other
releases. Bands from around the world have covered Axe songs, including
Italy's UFO Dictatorz, France's Splash Four, and most notably, The Dim
Stars with Thurston Moore and Richard Hell.

Assembled over a 7 year period by Axe guitarist and alumnus of the TV show
Zoom Tommy White, You'll Pay For This! is the definitive
compilation of Unnatural Axe footage, giving an energetic, beer-soaked
glimpse at the early days of punk rock. The DVD will also contain rare
footage of Tommy White's never finished punk rock horror comedy The
Creeper, which also featured Unnatural Axe and punk radio pioneer Oedipus.

more.
