"I like this band a lot...I saw an amazing amount of potential with these guys.” -Jon Oliva (Savatage, Trans Siberian Orchestra)
“Tampa's Area 51 can play as heavy as any band currently clogging the airwaves. But there's a lot more going on here, lyrically and musically, than with most Ozzfest second-stage hopefuls" -Tampa Tribune
“I was very impressed with [Area 51's] set...I'd have no problem putting them on an Ozzfest or putting them opening up for Metallica...they're tight, they're ready for a national tour, they're my pick of the night.” -Morava Management
