An absolute stellar effort by a band who have captured the sound of a bygone era perfectly. If you have ever watched a movie starring Fred Astaire and wanted to get up and start dancing yourself then this album is for you. A class act and are set for world domination. — Land Of Plenty reviewed by Connections Radio Show.

With smooth arrangements and the vocal delights of Caterina Sisinni you are going to fall in love with this group. Close your eyes when listening to this and you could well imagine yourself in the Prohibition Era sitting in a speakeasy listening, drinking illegal alcohol, and smelling cigars whilst watching the singing siren on stage. — Land Of Plenty reviewed by M. Dowden at @ Amazon.

The Speakeasies have that unique big band swing band sound of the early 1900’s in the US, but, they still manage to maintain that originality and uniqueness that makes you want to repeat the song over and over. This is a band to keep in your sight as they will continue to grow and make wonderful music. I wish them the best of success. I also wish I had gotten one of the vinyl copies of the album here in the States. — Bathtub Gin reviewed by Pedro L. C. @ Amazon.

The Speakeasies Swing Band create a vibrant style of swing that conjures images of an early New Orleans voodoo jazz club. They record in both English and Greek. — track Bright Lights Late Nights reviewed by Vox Populi.
