"Distinctive NYC underground songstress." - CMJ

"Momentum combines down and dirty electrics with addictive, sugar sweet melodies and squeezes the proverbial rock n' roll mainstream juice into her cup of bratty punk snarl. The results are a big, bold biological reaction of compositional passion and vision" - The Aquarian

"Galvanizing" - Village Voice

"Bianco sings music from the heartland, but her riot spirit comes alive in every runaway train jam. [She] delivers overdrive to make Neil Young turn his head" - The Deli Magazine

Finding a balance between the visceral and intellectual is one of the trickiest things to pull off in music, but Lisa Bianco manages to do just that. Her songs, evocative and inventive, straddle the line between punk rock passion and singer/songwriter introspection to create something uniquely her own.

A performer emerging from New York City's underground scene, Bianco has earned laudatory notices from publications such as CMJ ("Distinctive NYC underground songstress"), the Village Voice ("galvanizing") and East Coast Rocker ("Bianco is spreading a unique sound throughout the New York underground. An interesting blend of alternative, guitar rock, and pure punk aggression has led to a very distinct calling"). That praise has come in the wake of her electric live performances - shows that erase the distance between artist and audience. Lisa says, "I play and tour because it provides a sense of purpose. I often feel like a messenger. When I'm on stage, I feel so alive, and I work to convey that to everyone."

Subsequently, her fan base has been a strong and growing one, cultivated by years of hitting the NYC club circuit at venues such as the Mercury Lounge, the Knitting Factory, Arlene's Grocery, the Bitter End, Maxwell's and the Saint in NJ. She has recently done an east coast/Canadian tour, performed several times at NYC's Anti-Folk Festival on a bill with contemporaries such as Nicole Atkins and Regina Spektor, as well as playing the CMJ Music Marathon and the Light of Day Concerts in Asbury Park. Her influences, an eclectic mix of artists such as Radiohead, Patti Smith, Led Zeppelin, and power-pop artists like The Bangles and Blondie, have informed her musical sensibility, a combination of the hard and the heady, with an intensely emotional foundation.
