notes

From the classic lounge stylings of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, to fun twists on popular modern hits, Double Down plays the songs you know and love. The band's original style fuses together their fresh, bold talents with a tribute to the songs of yesteryear.

Double Down gives the Rat Pack a swinging update for the new millennium. Their electrifying performance, tight sound and musical expertise allow them to move from hot jump-swing numbers to poignant ballads without missing a beat.

In addition to the old standards, Double Down dives into the songbook of today, bringing a unique twist to contemporary classics. From Billy Joel to Motorhead, from Nirvana to Usher, Double Down brings a classy lounge attitude to anything they get their hands on. Never content to rest on their laurels, Double Down is constantly adding new songs to their repertoire so every show stays fresh and their audience is always entertained.

    Hit Me! shows a remarkable depth and variety for lovers of the tunes of the Swing and Rat Pack eras.High level musicianship, tight arrangements and a level of energy and fun that comes through on the recording. In an age where melody is largely forgotten, this as an exciting breath of fresh air. The combination of new tunes, old tunes craftily revisited and suprising novelty, well played and well sung make this a satisfying addition to your music collection.

    This CD is awesome, I can listen to it over and over again! The guys play outstanding, better than any band I have heard in a LONG time. John Kozan brings his talent full force. Tatum, Braden, Kyle, Drew and Jay have the best chemistry. Thanks for making me a fan. Melissa Puente
