“The Dealers' debut disc brings classic rock into the 21st century.”

“The Dealers EP gets 4 out of 5 stars”

““I just began recording a younger Orange County band called The Dealers, whose influences are undeniable classic rock. It’s quite refreshing to observe a group of folks at least 35 years my junior who have cut their teeth, musically speaking, on the same kind of music I did many years ago,” - Keith Taylor, Producer, Custom Taylored Studios”

“The Dealers Tip Their Hand”

"The Dealers, consisting of two Cal State Fullerton students, lead singer Kevin Thews, 22, senior advertising major, and lead guitarist Kyle Eckermann, 21, junior marketing major. Along with drummer Justin Ludwig, 21, psychology major at Saddleback Community College, and bassist Shawn Fox, 21, ITT Tech graduate, are trying to make a name for themselves in the music community. With a blend of classic and modern rock, playing at venues like the iconic Whiskey, where bands such as Mötley Crüe and The Doors have played before, seems like a fantasy for the four high school friends. “We got to play next to the poster of Jim Morrison and I kept thinking, ‘he played here!’ and we just fit right in,” Thews said. “The place hasn’t changed in 40 years, it was amazing!”"
