THE LOYAL CHEATERS are an Italian/German Turbo Rock’N’Roll band formed in 2020. Led by the frontwoman Lena McFrison, the band released its first single "Surrender", a revisited version of the Cheap Trick’s masterpiece, a band that has certainly influenced the sound of the group.
Their debut album, Long Run… All Dead!, was released on 18 February 2022 by Dead Beat Records (USA). "No Saturday Nites" and "Me Myself & I", the pieces de resistance of the record, well represent the groove of a rough-and-tumble Action Rock, boasting a unique combination of charisma, passion, style, and mammoth power-chords roar that are distinctive of this full-length. The Loyal Cheaters filled up the tank with a high-energy mixture of hard rock, early glam rock, and a fistful of pop punk from the late 70s. It’s like a party with Joan Jett, The Runaways and the Hellacopters.
The band played almost fifty gigs around Italy, Germany, and Switzerland, sharing the stage with bands like Flogging Molly, Bouncing Souls, Sick Of It All, Baboon Show, Nashville Pussy, Giuda, and more, and participated in international punk and rock festivals in Italy like BayFest, Punk Rock Raduno, Rock’N’Beer. Their live show is a high-voltage injection, a dose of anger and sweat, and catchy songs that are hard to forget.
In mid-2023, the band took a break from the live-action to record new music. Meanwhile, they also appeared in the compilations "Punk Rock Raduno Vol. 6" and "Babblin’ On And On – A Tribute to Faster Pussycat", with two unreleased tracks.
In 2024, Go Down Records signed The Loyal Cheaters for their sophomore studio album And All Hell Broke Loose, due for release on both LP and CD on April 26th.
