Broad Axe (booking page for Metal/Hardcore/Punk)

About Me

The Broad Axe is located on 28 W Franklin Street in downtown Hagerstown Maryland. Metal/Hardcore/Punk/Rock shows will happen the second Saturday in every month. All shows are 18+. Shows are $6 for 21 and over, $8 for 18-21 and start around 9pm (with doors opening at 8pm). There is parking behind the Broad Axe and limited parking in front of the venue. We do not own or run the Broad Axe. They were kind enough to give us a place to put on local shows and this page was set up to promote the shows we book there. For more info on the bar/resturant and other shows please check out the thebroadaxe.com or www.myspace.com/broadaxe_bar. Also for any sound questions please feel free to contact Matt. We promote every show we do but we also ask for the bands to promote as well because afterall, it is your show and the more people who know about it, the better. We also ask bands who play the Broad Axe to please be respectful of the venue and others attending the shows. When alcohol is involved we understand some people can get out of control but please watch out for each other and those around you. We are trying hard to keep this scene alive and the venue supporting the music we are into. We have seen way too many great venues no longer allowing this type of music because of a few disrespectful people attending the shows.

JASON (Contact for booking)

MATT (Sound, helps with booking/promoting)
Jason Harshman and Matt Biser have been running and booking shows for about 10 years now around the Frederick and Washington County area. We have rented out places in the past and every Friday from 2005-2006 provided shows for the now defunct Braddock Inn tavern, located in Braddock Heights, MD. Matt also booked shows for over a year at Krugs in Frederick. Both have been involved in the local music scene since high school since the early-mid 90's and have attended many shows over the past decade and have seen many great venues, local bands and national acts come and go through this area. Matt has been involved in two local bands from 1999-2006 (Stik Figure and No Remorse) and currently working with a new band though they are without a name at the moment and just getting started. With the Broad Axe we hope to keep this type of music alive and kicking in the Hagerstown area. We always support the local scene no matter the genre of band because we feel everyone is in the same boat, everyone deserves to have their music heard and living in the Hagerstown/Frederick area there are not alot of places for metal, hardcore or punk shows and we are trying to do our part in helping to keep the local scene alive.
Influences: Punk, Metal, Hardcore, Death Metal, Ska...if it rocks we like it! We all are pretty open minded to most types of music
Sounds Like: The Golden Girls in a Grindcore Band


Type of Label: Major
