"The Cheaters are crowd-pleasing party starters who mix up a heady cocktail of 70's Southern rock and rip-this-joint rock 'n roll.�
-Classic Rock Magazine

�The Cheaters play every show like they�re in front of a broken-bottle and pool cue-swinging outlaw crowd at some dusty outpost, as if their survival is contingent on the energy they bring to the stage.�
-Rob Goszkowski, Editor - Bay Weekly, Annapolis, MD

"Maryland�s hardest working and hardest rocking band."
-www.upnextmusic.net

�After the first passages one heard much, but prevailing a thought actually remains: These are the legitimate successors of the BLACK CROWES.�
-Home of Rock

�Both thumbs highly for "The Cheaters L.P.". One can only urgently recommend to keep this combo in the eye because their debut is not certainly their last word.�
-Rocktimes

�The good songwriting and the excellent control of the instruments as well as the outstanding singing surprise in view of the young personness of the musicians.  The sound is characteristic and  irresistible.�
-Squelar Rocks
