Great rockabilly song with wild sax solos soaring over twangin' electric rhythm guitars. It's raw, it's got attitude, and has a sharp lyric lamenting the artist's inability to escape his Capone ancestry. Link Wray would be proud. And so would Al.

Bad Blood

A clever song blurring the lines between rockabilly and swing. It has a smart-arsed lyric full of innuendo blended with a sophisticated Count Basie style brass arrangement. It's funny, it's cool and it swings like crazy.

Great Big Swingin' Thing

A slightly twisted twelve-bar-blues progression exploring the myths of Vegas - bright lights, gambling, girls, gangsters. 

It's infectious and gutsy, with great vocal and lead guitar performances.

Great Big Swingin' Thing (Track 6 from "Mitch Capone - Bad Blood")

Mitch Capone was captivated by the golden era of swing at the age of 18. He began making guest appearances in Newcastle with the ‘Dungeon Big Band’, performing classic tunes of Frank Sinatra & the Ratpack. 

When he auditioned for a local Newcastle theatre production of “Shout - The musical” he won the role of Cole Joy and was introduced to the wild sounds of 50s Rock n Roll. Mitch later won the role of "Elvis Young" in a touring production of the Early Years of Elvis Presley.

Encouraged by Newcastle record producer Mark Tinson, Mitch began writing songs  and an album Bad Blood  is now complete.

Fusing big band swing arrangements with dirty rockabilly boogie, "Bad Blood" heralds the birth of an exciting and irresistible new style of music - SWINGABILLY.
