Chakras has gelled to produce a diverse and eclectic yet surprisingly cohesive sound free from many of the stereotypes of modern rock. - Joe Mis / Hardrock Haven
Let's talk a second about Cedric. This album is not to be missed, especially if you like to snag up bands while they are still somewhat unknown. This album has some wonderful variety that will make you sing right along, stomp your foot and even punch wall at times. - Daniel C. Morrison / Alternative Revolt Magazine
Their own unique chemistry results in a sound that slams with Hard Rock’s bombast, lulls with Folk/Pop and Prog’s subtlety and shreds with Metal’s intensity. - Brian Baker / CityBeat
Cedric is a solid Alt/Hard Rock album that seems primed for even more radio exposure... - Mike Breen / CityBeat
Balance is the key to everything for the six members of Cincinnati-based rock band "Chakras". - Emily Hagen / Niagara Gazette
Simler-DeGolier's lyrics often address tangible topics obliquely, using metaphor and abstraction to provide her the words with a touch of universality. - Keith Halladay / North of Center

Chakras have carved out a cult following for themselves as one of the best local goth-tinged rock outfits in the area, and their latest CD is about to blow 'em outta the damn water, with virtuosic feats and moody, textural melody. - southgatehouse.com

Update
Chakras is sad to announce that our band-mate, guitarist Mark Szabo, departs the band as of December, 2011. Mark has been a dynamic contributor to this band for the past 3 years, and we appreciate all his efforts. He leaves to spend more time with family, as Chakras expands into a more aggressive tour schedule in 2012. A big 'thank you' to Mark for taking this crazy ride with us, and for his talents.
