Untamed beast

Description

Si, in 2011, Dirty Radio, the first album by SALLIE FORD & THE SOUND OUTSIDE, created a (good, very good) surprise, the new one, Untamed Beast, is a visceral rock'n'roll explosion. Described as a "cross between Ella Fitzgerald and Tom Waits" by the English magazine Uncut, SALLIE FORD has established herself as one of the most striking female voices in independent rock. She and her band, - TYLER TORNFELT (double bass), FORD TENNIS (drums) and JEFFREY MUNGER (guitar) - recorded the eleven tracks of the album with ADAM LANDRY and JUSTIN COLLINS (Deer Tick, Middle Brother) at Jackpot! Studios in Portland, Oregon, their adopted city. Gone is the singer who was finding her footing. In direct, intelligent, and often raunchy lyrics, SALLIE FORD challenges traditional notions of gender, in every sense of the term. "It's time for a girl to infiltrate the male world of rock'n'roll and grab it by the balls." We are warned.
