YEAR0001

Albums of the Year 2021

Viagra Boys are a Swedish post-punk band from Stockholm. Formed in 2015, the band consists of members from various other bands such as Les Big Byrd, Pig Eyes, and Nitad. Their debut album Street Worms was released in 2018 and received high praise from Nils Hansson, a journalist at Dagens Nyheter. Hansson commended their unique musical style, clever use of black humor and satire, giving the album a perfect rating of five out of five.

YEAR0001 is an independent record label based in Stockholm, Sweden. Founded in 2015 by two visionary individuals, it has quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

Our goal is simple: to help our artists reach their full potential while delivering exceptional music experiences for our listeners.

Since their founding in 2015, Swedish post-punk band Viagra Boys have made a name for themselves burning up stages around the world. There's a little Iggy Pop spit and seethe, a David Yow drunken stumble, and a bite of Nick Cave's haunted bark. Add a dash of motorik groove, a pinch of post-punk grime, and a dose of no wave howl. 

For every gruff and gritty croak in the outfit's catalog, they come back with a pair of bongos, squared-off synths, and a squonky saxophone, with songs that deftly lay waste to society's normalization of toxic masculinity, racism, misogyny, classism, and self-obsession.

Viagra Boys' Sebastian Murphy dreams about everyone hating his guts. A lot. "I kept having this recurring nightmare where my mom was crying and my friends were all pissed off at me," he recalls, almost reverently.

The band's new album, Welfare Jazz, doesn't bargain with the anxiety in that defeated feeling, but rather a boiling certainty that nothing and no one is absolute. There's plenty of blame to go around, and things are just a lot more interesting when you admit that you're not always going to be nice, you're not always going to pick the right words in a fist-fight. So why not keep moving forward, swaying and strutting into the night.
