"Children of the golden age of radio, the Taters grew up on AM's assorted diet of country, rock 'n roll, and R&B, and filter those influences into their eclectic and blissful roots pop."

"I really enjoyed the new CD and instantly recognized joy you guys put into making your music. Right out of the gate you got me rockin' with Menagerie. I caught some drifts of Beatles, Jeff Lynn, and Orbison but the Taters stand alone in the music world of today where it can be difficult to find real music or music with heart"
- Mark Cline, Enchanted Studios

"What a refreshing sound and style. Keep up the good work, guys!" - Tony Visconti

"The second best band in the world" - Bill Kirchen

"The Taters soar through a catalog of Americana and '60s-era pop influences"

The Taters play an eclectic mix of roots rock, pop, country, skiffle & Americana, a sound that's been compared favorably to a mixture of Everlys, Orbison, Beatles, and Nick Lowe.

Writing in Billboard magazine, critic Gordon Ely described the Taters as "determinedly-and gleefully-forging a path with no limits or end in sight. This is music for which you've been waiting a long, long time... Without a trace of self-consciousness or pretension, the Taters draw up a formula that can rightly be claimed as their own".

The connection between singer-bassist Craig Evans and guitarist Brad Tucker goes back more than 20 years. That kind of knowledge and interplay is responsible for the crisp harmonies and infectious hooks of the band's old school roots-pop - Durham Herald-Sun

Country roots-pop, dashed with the genius songwriting of 60's & 70's power-pop, like a curious, accidental mix of the Mavericks, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and the Beatles - CD Baby
