Put the phrase ‘sebastian murphy viagra boys interview’ to a search engine and the first entry is about the lead singer of a band and then everything else is about erectile dysfunction. Perhaps that’s down to age (Me, not him, although actually maybe him too), however the Canadian born, only non-Swedish member of it’s archest country punks probably knows that he’s leading the curious internet observer into a maze of pills and spills.
Viagra Boys share some traits with the likes of Warmduscher and Fat White Family, at least in their determination to handle society’s meme obsessed culture with some piss taking backwash of their own. Their third album Cave World skewered everyone and anyone, reserving special Nordic contempt for anti-vaxx grifters and conspiracy loons, all the while layering sleaze on musical sleaze.
Punk Rock Loser found Murphy punching down onto the deserved machismo of a guy who saw in the mirror what nobody else did. “I tried to warn you that I’m bad and I’m loose/I’m looser than a piece of low hanging fruit” he sung, whilst a dual-knuckled bass line throbbed and the filthy disco threatened to pour over the sides of you cup. You might wanna go check your search history now though, looks like you’ve got some explaining to do.
