"We can’t get enough of Kat’s powerful, raspy vocals. Look out, Melissa Etheridge!"- Ourstage
"Robichaud's commanding voice admirably pushes trite emotions and simple lyrics from blasé to bombast, offering a showcase of total conviction as much as vocal prowess...Robichaud's imposing tone is an asset not only becaus...e it serves the songs, but also because it rivets the listener...If this is the sort of energy she and the band can create in the controlled studio environment, imagine the histrionics a stage might provoke."-Ashley Melzer, Indy Weekly
"If Paramore and Heart were to have a child, it would be The Design. They deliver a fun pop rock sound with a touch of old school rock! That’s got to make for an entertaining LIVE show!"-Brody-Music Director at G105 (Clear Channel)
"Robichaud has one of those powerful voices that can punch you in the teeth one second and seduce you out of your drawers the next. She gives it all in this track and the boys backing her up hold up their end extremely well too."-Victor Alfieri-Indie Music Reviewer
"...this woman is extremely hot, intelligent, and taking over the world. I strongly encourage going to see The Design."- Rebecca Cane-Coolgrrrls Online Magazine
"Kat Robichaud, is no angel nor is she a chanteuse when it comes to singing. Given her prowess behind the microphone it’s doubtful she’d have any trouble taking it on. She’s somewhere in between, with a heavy dose of guttural, soul wrenching timbre combined with a knack for slipping in the explosiveness of a Broadway performer."-Brian Tucker, The WAE
"Intense, infectious, and inspiring."-Hunter Elliot-Raleigh Music Industry Association
"Kat Whitaker’s voice has enough oomph to rock a hockey arena."-Matt Wake-Metromix Greenville
"Rock's new sound."-LA Press
"Most of the time, bands are pretty good, occasionally not so much, but sometimes they turn out to be very good or even exceptional. Now and again we'll come across one that's of the kick ass variety which is to exceptional what The Hulk is to May Parker. Recently we saw a band that was of the latter sort, a Raleigh, NC group called The Design."-Chuck Cox of Spaceship Days
