Jim Bianco on LOUDMOUTH
  • ”These songs demand more of me because of their candor. They require all the tricks of my past performances – the intensity, the burlesque, the glitter; but also a resounding honesty that I’ve realized is fundamental in all worthwhile performances.” [3]
  • “There is humor on this record, but there is a darkness that comes along with it. You’ll get an occasional laugh, but it won’t be free. And there is no love song. There are songs of lust, songs of loss and songs of longing, but no love song.” [3]
  • “With the decline in funding for the arts that we’ve seen over the past few years, and the fact that music is so accessible that it’s essentially free, I’m thankful that I can put out an album and tour independently with only the support of my fans. I’m grateful for the direct relationship I have with my fan base; it allows me to continue making the music that I like for the people who want it – all without a middle-man to muck up the process.” [3]
