The Viagra Boys are the kind of band who use the absurd as a weapon, throwing firecrackers into the middle of the room and standing around to see the reactions. Led by frontman Sebastian Murphy, whose voice is an irresistible mix of mischievous grin and smoker's grumble, the band are known for their seething satire and darkly comic side, encapsulating a unique blend of grit and sleaze. Murphy's lyrics often reflect the absurdity and backwardness of the modern world, though he avoids prescribing beliefs or taking sides. The band's music is thus marked by a playful but incisive critique of society's follies and contradictions, set against a backdrop of heavy, explosive production. Viagra Boys have enjoyed considerable success and recognition, playing to sell-out crowds around the world, including prestigious gigs at Coachella and Jimmy Kimmel. The band has been highly rated by Pitchfork, NME and Kerrang! and has received notable accolades including Album of the Year by The NeedleDrop. Their impact extends to the Swedish music scene, where they have won awards such as Album of the Year and Best Live Band at the Swedish Grammis & P3 Guld Awards, underlining the breadth of their appeal and influence.
