The Capones are an upbeat street rock ‘n roll band from Chicago’s suburbs. With more than 5 years together as a band, they’ve really nailed down their own hard-hitting but catchy style of music. Singer Chris Russo was in the Marine Corps from 2006-2014, but the band stayed together and continued to write new music the entire time. Since the 2006 release of their first full-length album (The Birth of Rock-n-Roll), The Capones have been pushing forward constantly, and recorded the 3-track So Long Chicago EP in early 2009. This recording sealed the deal and gained the band a fanbase that has been steadily growing ever since. The band took a 3-year break to take care of some things, but now they’re back at it with new lead guitarist Jerry (Guitarist for Jetbirds), writing a new record and playing some gigs.
