Love Axe

**Love Axe** is a Portland-based indie rock duo formed by husband-and-wife team Jared and Melissa Waters around 2018. Known for their fuzzy blend of psychedelic rock and lo-fi charm, their music marries swirling guitar riffs with dreamy vocals, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Tracks like "Blue Skies Above" and "THE FOOD" showcase their knack for catchy hooks and offbeat lyrical themes, often dipping into playful existentialism or surreal everyday observations. With a DIY ethos, Love Axe has built a reputation for energetic live shows and a quirky, homegrown aesthetic that resonates with fans of garage rock and psychedelia. Their recent releases, including "Phenomenomenons" and "South Dakota," continue to lean into their signature mix of hazy melodies and raw, upbeat energy.
