WHO: Viagra Boys
WHAT: Viagr aBoys
WHY: I never thought I’d give this band a shot, but all the right people were fans: people with good taste on social media, music publications with good taste (like CREEM), and bands with actual integrity. Who was I to argue? Of course, I’m late to the game (they were on the Daily Show!?), but better late than never. Viagra Boys is rocking’, nihilistic, vulgar and honest – with itself and with itself. It’s depravity from the depraved. It’s a social commentary on the our cultural cesspool and has plenty of agro and fun riffs. It’s also one of the best albums of the year.
Listen to it on YouTube because these assholes don’t have a Bandcamp.
