The Story

Formed1975OriginUnited StatesGenreSouthern rock, hard rockLabelEpic RecordsMembersDave Hlubek, Steve Holland, Bruce Crump, Duane Roland, Banner Thomas, Danny Joe Brown

With a sound that crackles like a summer bonfire, Molly Hatchet ignited the Southern rock scene in the heart of America. Emerging from Jacksonville, Florida, this formidable band, led by the fiery guitar of Dave Hlubek, blended hard rock swagger with a Southern twang that resonated deeply with fans. Their music, characterized by powerful riffs and anthemic choruses, includes the iconic “Flirtin' With Disaster,” a staple that captures the essence of reckless abandon. Alongside members like Steve Holland and Danny Joe Brown, they carved out a legacy with a series of albums on Epic Records that defined the late '70s and early '80s. As their tunes continue to echo through the ages, Molly Hatchet remains a testament to the raw, untamed spirit of rock and roll.
