"their true power comes as much from their sound as it does from the caustic bite of their worldview...the Viagra Boys' brand of social punditry seems poised to break through to a wider audience." -
"Viagra Boys look to cement their reputation as the raucous post-punks du jour with Welfare Jazz." - PITCHFORK

"There will be no sophomore slump for Viagra Boys. At its best, Welfare Jazz represents an evolutionary step from Street Worms that's tighter, tougher, and more riotous than what came before." - CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

Stockholm post-punk band V**gra Boys (**= "ia" because spam FILTERS) have released their LP Welfare Jazz via YEAR0001. The sophomore album was produced by is produced by Matt Sweeney (Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Run the Jewels), Justin and Jeremiah Raisen (Yves Tumor, Kim Gordon, Sky Ferreira) as well as past collaborators Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Daniel Fagerström (The Hives, The Knife). Ever the band drenched in satire, they return with their brand of horn-filled, searing post-punk and rejection of standard genre tropes to deftly lay waste to society's normalization of toxic masculinity, racism, misogyny, classism, and self-obsession
