Viagra Boys
Perhaps the worst named band in the world for SPAM filters, Stockholm post-punk quartet Viagra Boys have made a name for themselves burning up stages around the world. There's a little Iggy Pop spit and seethe, a David Yow drunken stumble, and a bite of Nick Cave's haunted bark. Add a dash of motorik groove, a pinch of post-punk grime, and a dose of no wave howl.
For every gruff and gritty croak in the outfit's catalog, they come back with a pair of bongos, squared-off synths, and a squonky saxophone, with songs that deftly lay waste to society's normalization of toxic masculinity, racism, misogyny, classism, and self-obsession.
Like sin-eaters, if sins had to be ingested from a very small spoon, they have consumed the utterly incomprehensible chaos of our era and distilled it into immaculate music.
