Watching Little Hurricane perform, you can tell Tony “Tone” Catalano is a bit of a gear nerd. On stage, he switches back and forth between effects and distortion levels. His guitar style is loud and crisp with enough grit to keep the purists satisfied. Alongside the riffs is the powerful drum backbone of Celeste “CC” Spina. Their self-proclaimed "dirty blues" sound is definitely accurate, but that doesn’t give enough credit to the clean vocals and smooth transitions throughout their new album, Gold Fever. In fact, the lead single, “Sheep in Wolves Clothes,” has more of a jog-along-the-beach vibe than anything. But, for the most part, Gold Fever is a down and dirty sweat factory of rock ‘n roll.

Fair or unfair, any blues rock duo inevitably gets compared to the White Stripes or Black Keys. Depending on where your allegiance lies in those camps, it’s probably not fair to compare Little Hurricane to either of them. The San Diego duo is equal parts dirty blues and poppy hooks. No doubt there are similarities between these young guns and their veteran counterparts, but Little Hurricane is more California than Nashville.

The chemistry between the two is palpable and we have Craigslist to thank for their pairing. After both of them ended up in San Diego, Tone was looking to break out on his own after spending a few years working with various bands in the studio in Santa Cruz. After some time in culinary school and a long layoff, CC decided to trade in the chef coat for the drum sticks, and posted a video on online. After skimming through the inescapable responses from weirdos only the internet can provide, she found Tone, who needed a drummer and was intrigued by CC’s skills and -- oh yeah -- they now lived on the same block! Few lessons learned; ANYTHING can be found on Craigslist, including band/national tour mates. Not everything is sketchy on that site.

We’ve seen the success of bluesy two-pieces, and Little Hurricane has the look and sound of a group with mass appeal potential. There’s a sense that Little Hurricane won’t be so little for long. As they continue storming through the USA, more people ought to get caught in the eye of it. ---Ian Bremner, nodepression.com

Anthony ‘Tone’ Catalano - guitar and vocals
Celeste ‘CC’ Spina – drums

Alt-blues duo Little Hurricane loved the title of "Same Sun Same Moon" so much that they named their third full-length album after it. The title also returns as a lyric in lead single "OTL." In an interview with Tomatrax, drummer Celeste "CC" Spina stated the album's eponymous song was meant to "remind people that we are all sharing one planet."

The sentiment recurs throughout the album as well-albeit with a different purpose. The now-married CC and guitarist Anthony "Tone" Catalano use Same Sun Same Moon to share their evolved relationship with the rest of the world, which is best explored with the third track, "OTL" (short for "One True Love"). The song's pop feel initially seems very dissimilar from many of the band's previous works. But as the song progresses, the duo's familiar stylings slowly become more apparent: the back-and-forth vocals between CC and Tone, the simmering melody, the grounded blues sensibility.

Whether the stylings subconsciously crept back in or were actually always there is a lingering question as the album pushes on. The fifth track "Take It Slow" answers affirmatively to the latter. And in case you missed that one, the band doubles down with a playful tone on the eighth track "Mt. Senorita," which also has a little bit of cowbell in it (and no, the cowbell alone doesn't make it playful).

The highlight is "For Life" due to its down-to-earth grit. Deftly restrained, the song is soulful and rich, and incorporating the trumpet is a nice, subtle touch. In fact, the trumpet makes another appearance on the reggae-tinged "You Remind Me."

CC and Tone are unapologetic when it comes to not trying to take their music too seriously and not wanting to definitively define their music. The two are successful in those regards with Same Sun Same Moon, as they push their musical boundaries. Fans shouldn't worry too much though, as the band's musical foundation unmistakably remains centered. ---Tan The Man, seattlepi.com

Little Hurricane to mały liczebnie zespół, ale o godnym pozazdroszczenia potencjale.

Amerykański damsko-męski duet grający minimalistyczną i nieco brudną odmianę blues-rocka? – na tak postawione pytanie większość miłośników muzyki rozrywkowej odpowiedziałaby bez wahania, że chodzi o The White Stripes. Byłaby to poprawna odpowiedź, gdyby w tym pytaniu nie chodziło o… Little Hurricane. „Mały Huragan” to gitarzysta Anthony „Tone” Catalano i perkusistka Celeste „C.C.” Spina. Inspiracja jest oczywista, ale Little Hurricane tworzą i wykonują te utwory, na pomysł których White Stripes nie wpadli. Doskonałym przykładem umiejętności i klasy duetu z San Diego jest jego najnowszy, trzeci już album, zatytułowany „Same Sun Same Moon”. ---Wojciech Mann, polityka.pl
