What critics are saying about The Design:

"...this woman is extremely hot, intelligent, and taking over the world. I strongly encourage going to see The Design."- Rebecca Cane-Coolgrrrls Online Magazine
"The Design has taken a big step forward. Their lead singer, 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
"The Design performs tunes that are straightforward and unironic but that deliver a palpable sense of fun."-Cape Fear Music
"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

Dan, Joe and Nick from the band will be joining us live on air this evening, answering you questions from IRC, Facebook and twitter

Kat was on the Showcase last April with her band, The Design. After The Design broke up last October, she went to audition for The Voice, and last night the first episode of the new season aired, with Kat as the first featured performer. You can check out the performance below.



They don't show it in the clip, but she chose CeeLo as her coach.

If you dig the performance, you can like her Facebook page here, and you can even download a recording of the performance on iTunes here.
