Music Monthly strongly recommends music listeners to go out and check them live, for such bands like this do not come into being very often and what they can do with music is phenomenal. The Baltimore Sun described The Players as pioneers of an innovative style... focused on fanning the soul flame that ignited ska. "A rocking big band out of Baltimore and DC, the Players can hit all the styles and are a must-see live!" - AP Magazine (Alternative Press). August, 2003.
