Bag Of Cans and the Brit pop sideways jam rock psychedelia of "Milk and More"

 

"and now I sleep ok at night (lock the doors / lock the doors) / pull down the blinds, turn off the light (it's pitch black / it's pitch black) / but what's that coming down the hall? (no escape / no escape) / squelchy milky boots, squelchy milk boots.... ooh oooh oooooh...."


Come to think of it, maybe making songs about the occupational hazards and crazy making situations about certain blue or white collar jobs is a particularly British thing to do (you think so?). I mean, at least in the 60's /70's heyday of Brit pop, you had The Spencer Davis Group's delightful track "Sanitary Inspector" and The Beatles' iconic "Taxman" as well as The Kinks' "Dead End Street" generally about the poor working class as well as their acerbic "Shangri-La" where Ray Davies skewers high society. 

With doses of wonky darkness and lovely nostalgic psych blues rock throw downs, Norwich UK band Bag of Cans keeps up the tradition on the crazy good "Milk and More" about the local cocaine addled milk man. The track is full of charm and cookies, a blend of doo wop punked soul pop (truly) utterly sideways as well as 70's pushed blues indie art rock that shifts effortlessly into explosive jammy psychedelia on high with stunningly fun lead work, screaming organ slides and blaring horns. 

"Milk and more" indeed. Bag Of Cans consist of George Baker (vocals / trumpet), George Bryce (guitar / vocals), Tom McGhie (guitar), Sam Watts (bass) and Joe Wilson (drums). The quintet are poised to spread the thundering musical love far and beyond East Anglia!

Bag of Cans are a quintet weaving through the musical ranks on a sound described as “a gloriously surreal mix of old school indie, Weimar Berlin cabaret and Kinks circa Village Green Preservation Society”. Birthed from the effervescent swamp that is Norwich's music scene in 2017, the band have garnered a reputation as one of the must-see bands in East Anglia with invariably hectic live shows. Sinewy guitar lines glide between a relentless rhythm section and a penchant for indie-pop vocal-harmonies.
