Band: VIAGRA BOYS
Who: Swedish punk rockers with sharp
tongues and addictive jackhammers
Album: WELFARE JAZZ – their 2nd LP

Released: 8 January 2021

Ringleader/tattooist Sebastian Murphy: “We wrote these songs
at a time when I had been in a long-term relationship, taking drugs
every day, and being an asshole. I didn’t really realize what an asshole
I was until it wastoo late, and a lot of the record has to do with coming
to terms with the fact that I’d set the wrong goals for myself.”

NME says: “The Stockholm band traverse musical dissonance, country
and western, “being an asshole” and, er, loving dogs, leaning into the
madness of the modern era.” Full review here. Score: 4/5.
