    Viagra Boys are hard.....to categorise. I love the way the instruments dive in and out, and no-one overplays. Rare. Unique. The sort of band you stumble upon, then they become the soundtrack to your existence. Clowns, All Them Witches, Idles and now Viagra Boys. It's been a great couple of years of new music for this 54 year old .

      They make it sound so easy/basic, just like joy division, stranglers...or etc...did it. Being very careful with the flow of it all.
      And in my opinion they achieved it half through the arrangements, such as they make them - that the least amount of fiddling around with 'complicating instrumental resistance' and overproducing goes on, and the other half is the sound aspect of the whole thing. Which is fucking airtightI
      P.s.
      I think there's no problem to get them cataloged - file under R'n'R, just like Motorhead or Morphine. Debatable, sure, but not really. If the Boys haven't made it obvious, then its straight forward R'n'R-ish stuff

      I was just released today from the hospital after a horrendous car accident, I've been craving something in the punk vein, but been getting tired of listening to the same IDLES songs. Vigara Boys bring so many different influences and approaches to the indy/punk style. They are truly unique, and providing me with the best possible distraction from broken limbs. Much love!

    My good friend and I came across the song they did with Amy Taylor and thought it was a great laugh, and then we picked this session to see what they’re all about. Holy hell man these guys are actually really awesome and fun to listen to. Was even more surprised to find out how recent all their stuff is. Looks like a video from the 90s. Now I listen to these guys all the time. It’s really hard to find new music that I enjoy anymore. This live session is beyond amazing.

    • @BD-yl5mh
      @BD-yl5mh 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It seems like most people laugh on their first listen. I know I did, and I’ve seen a few comments on their vids to the same effect. My sister played me the first minute of “sports” and I was like “it’s a dude with a cowboy voice saying random words, haha!” but then I was like “eh, let’s listen to something else”
      But eventually it clicks. My sister followed up a few months later and was like “have you kept listening to viagra boys?” and I was like, not really? But fine, I’ll give them a second chance, and it was seeing the VIDEO for sports where I was like… oh, I love this dudes whole vibe and energy, and then I’ve spiralled into a closer and closer orbit. I’m now planning a frogstrap costume for when I hopefully get to see them live one day!

That bands discography is insane, they were a powerviolence band in their first two records. Then they went hardcore punk in their third record and the 4th record was punk heavily influenced by the Wire. 5th record was heavily influenced by Joy Division and the 6th record was influenced by a lot of post punk and new wave bands.
