AVIATION BLONDE is a musical dream that uses hands, words, sex, rhythm, rock and roll, love, and dance.

im not sure what is a dream and what is real. or if real is a real word and if words even exist outside of our imagination..i still can't say for certain if falling asleep is opening your eyes in the morning or closing them at night. and im lonely. but not sadly. everybody is alone. i want love like love wants love..oxygen and drifting clouds. and im not scared to be alive. these days more people are. money is an illusion. the world has been gaining some sort of momentum over "time" and every day it's spinning faster. we are growing up too quick. someday i'll start to. i write music because it feels like breathing. i sing because it is connection. i wish everybody would sing with me and without even gathering together sing so honestly that the songs could be carried on wind and heard at every point in the universe, even in translation. i wish there were no more bombs or bullets. and i wish we'd stop using politicians for negotiations. people are far too beautiful at heart to be introduced so cruelly into the blinding brilliant world. children. if there were to be a new beginning. would it all come out the same way again??

Some artists name an album after themselves because they’re stumped for another title. Brendan James grins at this suggestion. “As a fellow musician, I definitely get that,” he says, “but I actually had a good reason to do it. The album is self-titled because I feel like it’s my first recording that really showcases the different sides of me as a musician. It’s got everything from the mellow to the upbeat, to the somber to the unashamedly positive. My friends know me as the guy who loves to jump in the middle of a pick-up basketball game, but they also know me as the guy who needs to be reminded to stop spiraling when I start thinking about something too deeply. I have a lot of different sides and I wanted to make sure my music reflected that.”

What would you get if you took twin brothers; one a Goliath built six-string slinging lead guitarist and one bass pounding behemoth of exact stature, from a successful local heavy rock band? Then add one part rhythm guitarist from the Dimebag Darrell School of Rock, stir in a third six-string lead shredder with speed and agility to make a Megadeth fan grin ear to ear, then flavor them with a heavy pounding million watt smiling skin bashing drummer, to top this lethal concoction off with one of THE premiere metal vocalist who can actually SING? You’d get ZILCH, that’s what. And you would get it with the biggest middle finger ever thrown.
