Four young men in matching suits blast through songs that could've been lost early Lennon/McCartney compositions. It's clear that these retro-rockers from Corpus Christi have studied the classics and know what works. If you heard these songs out of context, you'd never know they weren't some lost 60s band bound for a slick reissue package to push them into posthumous stardom. Instead, the Blind Owls are here and now and inject serious chops into old school ideas destined to make you boogie.
"...these guys have crafted a sound akin to the modern throwback '60s soul masters J.D. McPherson & Nick Waterhouse" -- All Songs Considered
"...the classic mid-60s British Invasion sound of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Kinks with a dash of Elvis Presley’s sure-footed swagger." -- Corpus Christi Caller-Times
"Polished and catchy while still flaunting a retro rockabilly flair, All Day And Night by Corpus Christi band The Blind Owls is an upbeat and fun debut record. The Texan band does an astute job emulating the 50’s and 60’s sounds of yesteryear, all without sounding too try-hard or pretentious while they do it." -- 24OurMusic (8.4/10)
"...they are all over the place in a good way, with an infectious mixture of '60s sounds for the now generation." - Bananas Magazine
"It’s a fine record, especially if you like early 1960’s garage rock (and why wouldn’t you?). Get on the Blind Owls bandwagon. They’re going places, and you should join the trip before everyone else eventually will." -- 7thLevelMusic
