About Untamed:
Platteville, Wisconsin might be thought of as a quaint Wisconsin college town, but young and hungry hard rock trio, UNTAMED, did their best to bust up that reputation when they got their start. With nods that range from classic rockers like Led Zeppelin and Ozzy to newer headbangers like Audioslave and Halestorm, they've climbed their way through the music jungle over the past seven years from basements and dive bars to festivals and big stages. In 2014, they moved to Monroe,WI and added bassist Dan Thorp in 2016 to become a power four piece. Fierce bassist/vocalist Melissa Kieler sings like her heart is going to fall off the stage at any moment and she's flanked by axeman Kurt Kieffer, funky bass riffs of Dan Thorp, and the pounding beats of Scott Gruenenfelder. Passionate original hard rock mixed with classic crowd-pleasing covers, UNTAMED is a rock n' roll Jägerbomb that veers from a sly sense of humor to an intense slam to the solar plexus.
