The autobiographical title represents the band’s hard work and steady ascent to establish themselves on the rock and roll playing field. “Every song on this record reflects everything we’ve gone through over the past three years,” says Glenn Mungo. “It’s a storytelling type of record from beginning to end.”
It’s also a look ahead, as Lansdowne anticipate their to return to the stage. “Touring prepared us to make this record,” says Jon Ricci. “We experienced our fans in a more intimate way — the stories we heard from them, the conversations we had, their frustrations and triumphs — we got a better grasp on the kind of record we wanted to make. We are very focused on making sure we bring the best show we can every night. These new songs were written so they’re at their best live.”
The time spent honing their sound brought Lansdowne back to their traditional rock and roll roots. “We wanted to play from the heart, rather than have people outside of the band tell us, ‘This is what we’re looking for,’” says Mungo. “This time, there were no restrictions. We were able to let out what we’d been holding back for three or four years.”
Formed in Boston, Mass., Lansdowne built their fan base the old-fashioned way: on the road. They performed hundreds of shows across the U.S. and were chosen by Armed Forces Entertainment to perform for two weeks in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Kurdistan, which led to a partnership with the USO to play on American military bases from coast to coast.
After a seemingly endless stretch of tour dates, changes took place: new management, a new booking agent, a new guitarist and a new direction. The band recruited Joey Ariemma, a longtime colleague from Ohio, in time to record No Home But The Road. His contributions, says Mungo, add “different textures and tones to our sound, taking us in the direction we wanted to go.”
Rather than record a full-length album, Lansdowne opted to release an EP. “Rather than one long album cycle, we’ve decided to put out EPs and release music more often,” says Mungo. “With an album, songs that you put your heart and soul into may end up sitting on the shelf. An EP allows us to give all the songs the attention they deserve.”
Completing the equation for Lansdowne was producer Mike Watts, whom Ricci credits with bringing back his soulful, blues-entrenched vocal style. “Mike understood our vision for the music,” he says. “Our previous experiences in the studio were good, and they taught us a lot, but this was the first time I felt I could give100 percent of what I have. Mike embraced my personality from the start, and we couldn’t be happier.”
No Home But The Road is both the culmination of a band finding its true identity and the outcome of that evolution. The result, says Ricci, is a “more confident, comfortable Lansdowne. The first time was trial by fire. This time, we really owned it, and fans will see that. The comment we heard the most on the last record was, ‘Your live show is so much stronger. We wish your record sounded like the live show.’ We took that to heart and that’s why we needed to strip it down, go all out and give people a record they could be excited about.”

UP ALL NIGHT
Lansdowne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did anyone get the plates on that hit and run?
Waking up on the wrong side of town,
I've got no shirt, her smirk's cocked just like a loaded gun.
She tells all her friends we're dating,
Can't tell if the girl is crazy.
One of these days I'm gonna get myself burned,
She's got me up all night,
It's one hell of a ride.
You know she thinks I'm famous,
She don't know what my name is.
Up all night,
We can sleep when we die.
You know tomorrow morning
She's just another story.
Calling out my name I love the way
She's got me up all night.
She's making breakfast
But I'm making a break for the door,
Next thing you know it'll be
Dinner and diamond rings
I ain't got time for more than
Clothes on the floor,
But I'll be back tonight
Cuz' this girl is down for anything.
She tells all her friends we're dating,
Can't tell if this girl is crazy.
One of these days I'm gonna get myself burned,
Well bring on the fire cuz' I'll never learn.
She's got me up all night,
It's one hell of a ride.
You know she thinks I'm famous,
She don't know what my name is.
Up all night,
We can sleep when we die.
You know tomorrow morning
She's just another story.
She's been looking for love
But it's never enough
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
She's been looking for love...
Calling out my name I love the way
She's got me up all night.
She says I'm the greatest
Who cares if she fakes it,
I've got her fake tits
Covered in my fingerprints.
Says she's an actress,
Just wants to be famous,
Don't know what her name is.
She's got me up all night,
It's one hell of a ride.
You know she thinks I'm famous,
She don't know what my name is.
Up all night,
We can sleep when we die.
You know tomorrow morning
She's just another story.
She's been looking for love
But it's never enough
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
She's been looking for love
But it's never enough
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
She's been looking for love...
Calling out my name
She plays those dirty little games.
This girl is driving me insane,
Oh yeah the way she's got me up all night.
The lyrics to Lansdowne's song Up All Night are about a fling with a woman who is both crazy and exciting. The singer is caught up in the excitement of being with her, but also recognizes that she is not the type of person he wants in his life long-term. He describes her as cocky and ignorant, thinking that he is famous while not even knowing his name. Despite the warning signs, he can't help but be attracted to her and the dangerous thrill of their relationship. The song speaks to the idea that sometimes we are drawn to things that are bad for us, simply because they are exciting.
Throughout the song, the singer wrestles with his feelings for this woman. He recognizes that she is not the type of person he wants to be with forever, but he can't help but be drawn to her. This dichotomy is reflected in the lyrics themselves, with lines like "She's been looking for love but it's never enough" suggesting that she is searching for something deeper while "She's got me up all night, it's one hell of a ride" suggests that he is just looking for excitement.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of getting caught up in the moment and ignoring warning signs. While the singer may be having fun for now, he recognizes that ultimately, this is not the type of relationship that will make him happy in the long run.

Reached for the bottle but the bottom was all I found,
Intenté alcanzar la botella pero el fondo fue todo lo que encontré
Did anyone get the plates on that hit and run?
¿Alguien consiguió la matrícula de este atropello con fuga?
Waking up on the wrong side of town,
Despierto en el lado equivocado de la ciudad
I've got no shirt, her smirk's cocked just like a loaded gun.
No llevo camiseta, su falda está ladeada igual que una pistola cargada ("cocked": ladeada / amartillada en un arma")
She tells all her friends we're dating,
Ella le dice a todas sus amigas que estamos saliendo
Can't tell if the girl is crazy.
No puedo decir si la chica está loca
One of these days I'm gonna get myself burned,
Uno de estos días voy a quemarme a mí mismo
Well bring on the fire cuz' I'll never learn.
Bien que alguien provoque el fuego porque nunca aprenderé
She's got me up all night,
Ella me tiene despierto toda la noche
It's one hell of a ride.
Es un polvo de la hostia
You know she thinks I'm famous,
Ya sabes, ella cree que soy famoso
She don't know what my name is.
No sabe cómo me llamo
Up all night,
Despierto toda la noche
We can sleep when we die.
Podemos dormir cuando nos muramos
You know tomorrow morning
Ya sabes, mañana por la mañana

Ella sólo será otra historia

Grita mi nombre, me encanta cómo lo hace
She's got me up all night.
Ella me tiene despierto toda la noche
She's making breakfast
Está preparando el desayuno
But I'm making a break for the door,
Pero yo me precipito hacia la puerta
Next thing you know it'll be
Lo próximo, ya sabes, será
Dinner and diamond rings
Una cena y un anillo de diamantes
I ain't got time for more than
No tengo tiempo para más
Clothes on the floor,
La ropa por el suelo
But I'll be back tonight
Pero regresaré esta noche
Cuz' this girl is down for anything.
Porque esta chica está dispuesta a todo
