Poison Stiletto - "Wild & Wasted"

The Sunset Strip has always been the breeding ground for rock 'n' roll excess, but Poison Stiletto, the rebellious all-female glam band from L.A., is setting a new standard with their debut single "Wild & Wasted." Fresh off a tour with the equally electrifying Vixen, Poison Stiletto has proven that they're more than just another act in the glitter-infused fray—they're a force to be reckoned with.

"Wild & Wasted" is a three-and-a-half minute blitzkrieg of glam-fueled chaos, perfectly encapsulating the wild, hedonistic nights that made the Strip infamous. The track opens with a blistering guitar riff that instantly transports you to a sleazy dive bar on a Friday night, where the lights are dim, the drinks are strong, and the night is forever young. Front-woman Vikky Storm's vocals are a snarling, gritty celebration of debauchery, as she belts out lyrics that reminisce about nights of drunken riots, broken glass, and getting kicked out of The Whiskey ...only to return the next night for more.

The song is a pure shot of adrenaline, with a chorus that's as catchy as it is defiant: "Oh, when you're wild and wasted / Go out with a bang, like a loaded gun!" It's the kind of anthem that captures the spirit of the 80s, where living fast and partying hard were practically rites of passage.

But there's more to this track than just the party. Storm'ss lyrics reflect on those times with a mix of nostalgia and defiance, particularly in the line, "Do you remember those days? / Honey, you know what I mean / Everything cranked up to eleven / And not one of us gave a shit!" It’s a candid acknowledgment of the excesses of youth, celebrated with zero regrets.

In an era where the boys' club of rock 'n' roll often dominates the conversation, Poison Stiletto is a refreshing, high-heeled stomp on the industry’s assumptions. "Wild & Wasted" isn't just a single—it's a statement. These women are here to party just as hard, play just as loud, fuck just as much, and leave just as big a mark on the Strip as any of their male counterparts.

If Poison Stiletto keeps delivering bangers like this, they'll be headlining those Sunset Strip venues in no time. So crank up "Wild & Wasted," and get ready to relive those nights of glorious chaos, because this band is just getting warmed up.
