Steve Creep and the Wildcards – Bottles and Cans
Steve Creep and the Wildcards’ “Bottles and Cans” begins with a gritty hard rock guitar riff that instantly reminds me of the raw intensity of Guns N’ Roses and Faster Pussycat, as well as the colorful Sleaze Rock culture of the 1980s. This is not your typical hard rock song; the vocal performance offers an intriguing fusion of 1970s Glam rock elements (think Slade and Gary Glitter) with a punk attitude that provides its performance a rebellious edge. The groove of “Bottles and Cans” is undeniable, ensuring the track hooks listeners from the very start. The guitar riff is particularly noteworthy—infectiously catchy and powerful enough to make you want to experience it live. It’s difficult to ignore the distinctive sound produced by a combination of genres since it has a nostalgic but modern vibe.
