Sister Sparrow & the Dirty Birds October 18, 2012

Sister Sparrow and The Dirty Birds is a nine-piece powerhouse from Brooklyn, formed in 2008, that delivers a blend of gut-busting soul, earthy rock, and New Orleans-inspired beats. Their newest effort is 'Pound of Dirt,' an album title taken from an old American proverb, "You gotta eat a pound of dirt before you die," which exemplifies their gritty philosophy. Says frontwoman Arleigh Kincheloe, "That lyric sums up our new record...which is how we've always wanted to present ourselves to the world."
