***********************************************
"a true one-woman-one-guitar, I-do-everything-myself musical entrepreneur."
- Redefine Magazine

"Vanessa has managed to make music nostalgic of 90’s era grunge, worthy of a 21st century platform." - Simplenvrmt.com

"Her breathy voice stirs up comparisons to a really bitter (ok, pissed off) Sarah McLachlan. Think of L7 -- if L7 knew how to write well and arrange a string section."
- Santa Fe New Mexican/Pasatiempo

"Grunge-chic"- Freeindie.com

"In a music world full of female pop artists hitting it big by chewing bubblegum and puking in closets, Vanessa is doing the opposite. Harnessing a sound that brings back memories of No Doubt and Nirvana, Diamonds Under Fire strikes not only a chord of nostalgia, but the “damn that’s a good tune” chord as well."-Theburningear.com

"Diamonds Under Fire was more climactic than it should have been. Silberman broke from the norm. In a music scene full of pretty, glamorous female musicians, Silberman provided an aesthetic more akin to Joey Ramone and a musical sound reminiscent of ’90s rock with static guitar and angsty vocals."
