The Reducers: Let's face it -- it had to start somewhere! The Reducers are quite possibly thought of as the fathers of New London local music.

What The People Are sayin'
"Wailingcity, is, as of now, probably the most successfully comprehensive listing on local and area shows in Southeastern Connecticut on the Internet; the folks at wailingcity are doing an excellent job of making sounds from the underground..."
-Ben Johnson (music/arts reporter, The New London Day)
"I just want to give a big shout out to Meghan and Shaun at Wailingcity.com for all that they are doing for the City of New London's art and music scenes. I think that they themselves and their online zine and promotion is an invaluable resource. I spoke to Meghan the other day and told her that I wished that there was a resource like them back in the day when I was playing music full-time. I suppose now that I crawled out from under the rock I've been living under for the past five years, I just wanted to thank them for all that they are doing for Zack P, for music, and for my spirit."
-Dayne Duranti (New London county scene enthusiast | Guitarist/singer of Small Town Hero, Doug etc)
