Columbia, Missouri’s own Swing’n Axes, seven hipsters who have been swingin’ since the cradle, are keeping foxtrotters and lindy-hoppers on the dance floor with their special brand of 40’s inspired swing. The Axes pump out an authentic old-time sound that’ll make you wonder if you’re listening to grandpa’s old records. But make no mistake, these young swingsters are also playing cool new tunes that they compose and arrange. The Axes first started in early 1998 and caught the attention of local jitterbuggers with their unique styling of classic 30's and 40' dance tunes. Soon the band began playing their own tunes, and the Swing’n Axes took off like a ‘44 Cadillac after a mob hit. Ever since, cats and kittens have been swinging to the Axes in many of Columbia’s hip spots, like Mojo’s and The Blue Note, and even Kansas City’s Grand Emporium. Now that you’ve got your paws on this album, you’ll be jumpin’ and jivin’ in your own living room. The Axes lay down a beat that you can’t resist, so be prepared to Swing It Hot and Swing It Hard with these wailin’ cats.
