Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside’s new record Untamed Beast is a visceral rock and roll romp. Like a cross between Ella Fitzgerald and Tom Waits, but stoked with the fire of youth and rebellion, Sallie has established herself as one of the most powerful female voices in indie rock. From the exuberantly sexy “Do Me Right” to the free-spirited cry of “Party Kids,” Untamed Beast has a lust for life.
A central theme on the record is finding freedom through defying conformity, and through clever (often racy) turns of phrase, Sallie twists traditional notions of gender and genre - in her words: "it's time for a girl to infiltrate the boys world of rock n roll and grab it by the balls. To me rock n roll isn't a genre, it's an energy."
