| Sounds Like | "It's Wailing City's own Anne Castellano! New London's mysterious songstress does it all -- she sings, plays guitar, plays bass and commands her drummer in a box... and makes it all look easy!! "Come Here" is faster and a bit more urgent sounding than some of her other songs, but her vocals smooth it all out. Anne is a one woman '77 style punk band with cure guitar tone and Grace Slick on vocals. It sounds strange but it works really well." - Adam Wujtewicz of Wailing City 1/31/08
"Anne rocked out last nite, resulting in a possible injury to me, i killed the pain and rode out the nite with some whiskey, finally went to the hospital, and contacted my attorney...i think the injury happenend when i had to do a double take on her 12 string fender strat..i was admist siping my tasty beverage when all of a sudden i noticed it, getting confirmation from Rob, who indeed did tell me it was so..
i spoke to Anne after her show briefly, telling her of my injury...she did show some concern, but my attorney has advised me to seek out compensation for damages..." -

"Anne Castellano kicked the energy up a notch with her solo act. Anne has a great rocker's voice and accompanies herself on guitar and drum machine. We really dug the electric 12 string." - Zoo Front 9/27/08
From The Big Takeover (issue 35) - review by Jack Rabid:
FIFTIG is a celebration, since it's the 50th release for this gallant New London, CT label. For some reason, instead of an overview of all their releases going back years, they've elected to spotlight 18 new bands/tracks. Which means some of their worthy old acts, such as Quiet Life and Big Takeover favorite Low-Beam, aren't included. But forward thinking underlines Cosmo's continued viability, including a bevy of CD singles they've been doing lately. New London's "lifetime achievement award" foursome The Reducers are here (collaborating with Miracle Legion vet Mark Mulcahy); likewise, the catchy, noisy-indie-pop stylings of Brazen Hussy and raspy Fatal Film, the lighter atmospheric pop of Matt Gouette, and even the alt. country skip of Roadside Attractions, Anne Castellano and others - all of whom suggest a health of taste. Viva Eastern Connecticut. (hozomeen.org)
