“All Night Boogie Band capture raw emotion and road-worn energy on “Shut Your Eyes and See”. Running 36 minutes and 33 seconds, the record captures a band that has spent the last several years grinding it out on stage after stage, shaping their identity through performance rather than polish.”
- Sarah Wagner, Melodic Magazine“Shut Your Eyes and See, out on July 3, is easily the band’s strongest effort to date. Overflowing with soul and peppered with songs of longing and love, as well as topical political lyrics, the band has stretched out geographically but never sounded more united.”
- Chris Farnsworth, Seven Days“This disc is a masterclass in dynamics with unmistakable groove driving each of the songs. With a record this vital, this damn good, I only have one complaint; I wish there were more than 7 songs. This thing is EPIC.”
- John Kereiff, The Rock Doctor“RRX: Do you feel better when you sing about the better times, or the worse times?
JL: …Our good times songs are driven by the energy of the crowd and feeling of togetherness, while our “F the system” songs are driven by rage and yearning for a better world. But both feelings are rooted in community in a way, which is what music is all about…”
- Sara Busone, RadioRadioXTranslated: “While the group doesn't aim for a uniform sound—each song has its own distinct style—this doesn't prevent Shut Your Eyes and See from presenting a structured development thanks to the strength of its compositions.”
- Diego Luis, Historias Del Blues“With Shut Your Eyes and See, All Night Boogie Band continue to sharpen a sound built on live energy, musical chemistry, and a deep respect for the roots of American music—delivered with urgency and conviction.”
- Leslie Sherman, Indie Music Discovery“Shut Your Eyes and See is All Night Boogie Band’s third full-length album and their most accomplished yet. The LP captures the band’s signature blend of blues, soul, and rock with heartfelt songwriting, soaring vocals, and electrifying musicianship across seven emotionally charged tracks.”
- Fallon Oneill, LoudHER Media“With Shut Your Eyes and See, All Night Boogie Band continue to build on what they do best: delivering soulful songwriting, tight musicianship, and the kind of road-tested energy that can only come from a band shaped by the stage.”
- COOLHAPPYGENIUSHEROES
“A soulful number that starts off a cappella before erupting in a rock revival complete with a horn section, big slide guitar breaks, boogie-woogie piano and a rousing, sing-along chorus, the tune captures a band in ascendency.”
- Chris Farnsworth, Seven Days
“With their second LP, Angel of the Airwaves, All Night Boogie Band have lived up to the promise of their debut. The group has delivered a versatile record that remains steeped in its blues roots while pursuing new stylistic frontiers with which Taste These Blues merely flirted.”
- Habib Sabet, Seven Days
“Taste These Blues’ wears its Stones influence on its sleeve, especially the Exile and Sticky Fingers eras. The piano, horns and guitar move the tune along while Leone belts out another amazing vocal performance, so let’s just allow that she’s that good ALL the time.”
- Dino DiMuro, Pitch Perfect
“The young Burlington band has put out a record brimming with love for the blues, as well as hints of jazz and soul music. Taste These Blues, the band’s debut, showcases guitarist Brenden Casey’s strong and studious songwriting and lead singer Jessica Leone’s powerful, soulful vocals.”
- Chris Farnsworth, Seven Days
“A six-minute-plus blast of blues and soul, the track reveals a shocking amount of authenticity for such a young band. Massive, soulful vocals; big horns; and a powerfully tight rhythm section combine to create a huge blues sound.”
- Chris Farnsworth, Seven Days
