Viagra Boys

Add Date: January 12

Artist: Viagra Boys

Album: Welfare Jazz

Label: YEAR0001

Genre: Punk, post-punk

Comments: From the promoter: "Swedish punks Viagra Boys' sophomore record, Welfare Jazz, is noisy, derisive, and takes aim at capitalism, classism, and toxic masculinity. 'I'd rather write a song about being defeated,' frontman Sebastien Murphy says, 'which usually comes from a real place and says a lot. We wrote these songs at a time when I had been in a long-term relationship, taking drugs every day, and being an a___.' On Welfare Jazz, Viagra Boys are as explosive, gritty, and tongue-in-cheek as ever. For Murphy, this record is largely about coming to terms with the fact that he'd set the wrong goals for himself."
