Nils Hansson, a journalist at the newspaper Dagens Nyheter described the band favorably, praising their musical style, as well as their use of black humor and satire, and rated the album a five out of five.

V**RA BOYS: “A lot of our output is a celebration of being a fuck-up”. The follow-up to 2021’s "Welfare Jazz", which has been produced by Pelle Gunnerfeldt and DJ Haydn, is released on July 8 via Year0001.

According to a press release, the album is “inspired by current events”, and “aims to tear through the insanity and confusion the world currently finds itself in.”

V**gra Boys - Just Like You

Some call it street blues; smart and dumb at the same time, sad, lonely but always with a smirk and a unique knack for deadpan funny but grim storytelling. Stockholm punk rockers V**gra Boys make great music, sort of like The Stooges meets The Birthday Party, or Devo cross-pollinated with Mark E Smith’s Fall – it might not be for everyone, but like Gibby said: ‘There’s a time to shit and a time for god, the last shit I took was pretty fucking odd’. Grimey, acid highway full throttle; V**gra Boys debut album ‘Street Worms’ released last year is an interesting ride as vocalist Sebastian Murphy lets you ride shotgun while this trip takes you blazing to the top of a mountain before speeding right back down to the basement again. The bass line ferociously drives the car and the drums make sure you stay on the road – this is one of those trips where you sporadically wake up and find yourself in strange situations, wondering how the f*ck you got there.

V**gra Boys will perform at 23.00 on Linné, Saturday, Aug 10.

Today's tune "Just Like You" is taken from the debut studio album "Street Worms" by Swedish post-punk band, V**gra Boys. The album was released on 28 September 2018 through YEAR0001.

V**gra Boys - Street Worms

Monday, new week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week".

"Street Worms" is the debut album by the Swedish and Stockholm based garage punk band with uncontrolled horns. V**GRA BOYS (or V**gra Boys, as they’re referred to in spam filter-evading emails) have an anthem for that. "Street Worms" was released on Sept. 28 via YEAR0001.

The record was produced by Daniel Fagerström (SKULL DEFEKTS, CHRONIC HEIST) and Pelle Gunnerfeldt (FIRESIDE, THE HIVES).

"Street Worms" is a twisted jazzy post-punk story about worms, sports and sneaky things in the basement, makes the album a really fun ride, an album about illusions of realness, the absurdum of existence and the joke on humanity, where the music is like a matchmaker between NINE INCH NAILS with Iggy Pop behind the microphone and the electronic synth-poppers DEVO with SPARKS sprinkles on the top.

The album opens up with a sneaky husband that got fetish about latex thrills in "Down in the Basement", pulsing rhythms, horns and a finger pointing singer that demands the cheating husband to give his wife apology for his shabby way and grow into a real man. "Sports", is an absurd and hilarious parody a particularly American brand of masculinity. The tune is about "Sports" and different types of balls: Baseballs, Basketballs, Volleyballs Ping pong, Beachballs, and Wienerdogs all bounce around the song, emphasized with a relish bubble, a low pitched voice out of frontman Sebastian Murphy. Meanwhile, a mid-pace drum beat and a meaty bassline hold things in order along with a sexy guitar riff. "Best in Show" is a reference about dogs where Murphy barks out and then he gives the dog a snack in the guitar-driven tune "Shrimp Shack". The dark new wave of "Just Like You",  a thick and fat fuzzed bassline and monotone electronic sounds surrounds the vocals to a hypnotic journey about a dream. Guitars, saxophone, and electronic blips are the main things in "Slow Learner" and manic noises and guitar blops in "Frogstrap", both tunes follow the same path in tune building, both with excellent vocals by Murphy and terrific playing by Benke, Benis, Tor, Oskar, and Konie. "Worms" is a half pace tune about worms that will eat you. Great flow with squirming vocals. The album closes with "Amphetanarchy", an instrumental piece with a wonderfully tangled groove, strangled saxophones, jamming drums, true freeform art.


Sum:  Who can "Smoke a joint, eat some meat, scream the name of every single sport you can think of that includes a ball", well V**GRA BOYS.

“It was all a dream, but it was so nice. I had a nice house and such a lovely wife. We had a little dog, such a little dog, it reminded me of a large dog. Just a miniature size. ”


Today's tune "Sports" is taken from the "Street Worms", enjoy today's tune!
