I was a fan of Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside. They played a brand of in-your-face rock-a-billy that wasn’t afraid to challenge the status quo. She had a kicking band including guitarist Jeffrey Munger who was especially fantastic. But Sallie wanted to move and realize her dream of fronting an all-female rock band. So she got herself three ladies and moved from Partisan to Vagrant for Slap Back. The first track off Slap Back is below on Soundcloud and live video. Here’s some info on the new venture.
About the album’s first single, Coulda Been Sallie says: “The song is about games that people play in romantic relationships and how you always want what you can’t have. I wrote the lyrics first and was inspired to write music when I was playing along with computerized drum beats in order to find inspiration.”
At the beginning of this year, Sallie fulfilled her dream of starting an all-girl rock n roll band and in February of 2014, the band went into the studio with producer Chris Funk to begin recording Slap Back. The new record has a surf, garage rock & classic rock feel. Sallie proclaims Slap Back to be an ode to all babe rockers from Joan Jett, Blondie and Pat Benetar to PJ Harvey & Exene Cervenka.
