Variously described, VIAGRA BOYS sound mainly like dance punk/ surf music to me. They also sound the way you'd expect a "punky" post-2015 (when they were founded) Swedish rock band to sound -- kind of easy on the ears -- expect they have a lot more lyrical edge than you'd expect. But it's more on the cynical side than the angry. This is mainly down to louche lead singer and lyricist Sebastian Murphy, a mini MORRISSEY (with a side order of the FALL's Mark E. Smith), and his tendency to pick and squash the low-hanging fruit of our shallow materialism and techno narcissism.
