"Bogosian's nervy yapping brings a quirky vibe to their mini debut while the rest of his bandmates keep up with an unshakable, raw power. From the angsty bass lines of "I'm a Carrier" and the post-punk punch of "Brown Boots" to the propulsive sass of "Sixteen," Eat Sugar combines bold, vigorous lyrics and upbeat electro-pop melodies." - Spin.com, Emma Lind - Emma Lind
"Yeah, it's youthful, spastic and riding a wicked sugar high. But Eat Sugar sounds like they're playing as if their lives depended on it." - Ryan Allen, Detour - Ryan Allen
“These guys came out on fire, and just kept going. Sounding a little bit like LCD Soundsystem, they threw in a little bit of New Wave… This music straight up blew me away.” - Eric O’Bryant, The Yellow Stereo - Eric O’Bryant
"Eat Sugar's EP whets future fans' appetites with four electrifying tracks. The synthesized madness of the opening "I'm A Carrier," is a call to action on the dance floor. Contagiously catchy with the provocative forwardness of Death From Above 1979, Eat Sugar's "Sixteen" will have all the hipsters tapping their toes despite their pretension. Overall, this leaves listeners longing for more and pressing repeat." - Dianca Potts, The Big Takeover - Dianca Potts
"While the combustible nature of this down-and-dirty debut is distilled into a mere four-songs, the energy, conviction and passion screams volumes. Damn the cavities, Eat Sugar is one record you'll want sink your sweet-tooth into." - Tony Bonyata, Concertlivewire.com - Tony Bonyata
"...a blinding US released EP." - Artrocker Magazine - CD Review
"The end results of this ideal collaboration stand up to the best Electro Post Punk made today (in fact, they're often as good as anything created in New Wave's heyday). In just four songs, Eat Sugar has made one of Cincinnati's most impressive recording debuts of 2007." - Mike Breen, City Beat - Mike Breen
"The disc features four songs (including hit-single-worthy "Sixteen," which also spawned a super-fun video) that will rock your iPod and leave you wanting more." - Kari Wethington, Cin Weekly - Kari Wethington

Bio
Eat Sugar formed in 2006 to create an exciting brand of Electro-fused Indie New Wave. The Cincinnati based band features drummer Greg Poneris, bassist/keyboardist Jim Reynolds and charismatic lead singer Aidan Bogosian.
When it comes to talent and creativity, Eat Sugar already has a prosthetic bionic leg up on most other upstarts. Singer Bogosian is the band's secret weapon. His vocals can be spastic and frizzy, as the herky-jerky music sometimes calls for, but there's an inherent soulfulness making it much more effective than the overly theatrical yelps of some of his peers. Poneris provides metronomic precision with an overheated energy threatening to short-circuit everything at any moment. Reynolds handles the propulsive synth assault guiding the jittery burble with a mix of gracefulness and aggression.
The end results of this ideal collaboration stand up to the best Electro Post Punk made today (in fact, they’re often as good as anything created in New Wave’s heyday). Though clearly informed by some modern influences, Eat Sugar's music easily passes as a treasured relic from 1979, thanks to their love of more antiquated synth sounds and dedication to never letting the machines override the human element and energy.
