“Ecrasez L’Infame is down-beat, electronic rock at its finest. This album is melanic and brooding, and its songs will rattle around your head for weeks to come.”
Dayton Daily News
"This three-year-old band has perfected the art of sound manipulation...Their shows are massive..."

"...Diet Audio creates a potent sonic hybrid..."CityBeat
"Although they perpetually seem pulled back and forth between Trip Hop programming and precise New Wave pummeling, Diet Audio has no trouble maintaining a consistent persona thanks to Amy Whitaker's dour vocals. Whichever stylistic turn the song takes, her breathless performances are the band's centerpiece."
CityBeat
"A series of bleeps, monotone sentence fragments, laser-chimes, a pulsating bassline, an authoritative leading lady: Cincinnati's Diet Audio provides the soundtrack to the dreams you wish you were having. Amy Whitaker's otherworldly voice is only the invitation to a visceral, heat-seeking celebration of the body's unspoken and involuntary contract with rhythm."
Rolling Stone
Please stop Calling us.

"Like most beat-driven music, Diet Audio inspires motion, but it's not the drum machine you'll lock into and groove with, it's Amy Whitaker's dreamy vocals. Whether it's a hushed or powerful passage, her sensual voice connects the band's brooding combination of electronic and visceral live sounds to the real world."
Since it's inception in Fall of 2003 Diet Audio's moody, art-rock sound has garnered a loyal following of fans, and the momentum just keeps building.
