Eat Sugar: Eat Sugar – Music Review

eatsugarEat Sugar could easily be mistaken for a European New Wave, Punk band, but these spasmodic Electro-IndiePunk rockers hail to us from Cincinnati, Ohio, and are ready to make a major mark in the musical realm.  Having once played with bands like Louisville’s VHS or Beta, Austin’s Voxtrot, and Omaha’s The Faint, Eat Sugar has definitely gotten their foot in the door and have begun to make their way around the world of music.  Their mini debut EP includes four galvanizing songs, all of which would appeal to hipster fans of the Punk, Electro, and New Wave genres.  They are vigorous and spastic, and some might even say (with good reason) on an indefinite sugar high.

Singer Aidan Bogosian provides us with staggering erratic vocals to accompany the jolting, energetic music from the bass, synthesizers, and drums supplied by the rest of the band.  Songs like “I’m a Carrier” and “Brown Boots” will have listeners on an endless sugar high right along with the rest of them.  Although executed in just four songs, Eat Sugar’s energy and boldness is incapable of going unnoticed.  They have made sure to be as in-your-face as possible, and have clearly achieved that…but in a good way.  Their vibrant lyrics don’t particularly leave much to the imagination either.

The collaboration of Bogosian, Reynolds, Poneris, and McBride makes for an awesome Electro-Punk mini album.  They seem to have taken every ounce of energy they could musterand have ultimately created a mini album to be proud of.Eat Sugar has done in four songs what many bands could only hope to do in fourteen.  They have given us something to sink our teeth into; something not so much sweet, but something that is definitely sugared.  They have succeeded in leaving the listener wanting more.
