VIAGRA BOYS

CREEM PROFILES

NAMES: Sebastian Murphy, Henrik Hockert, Tor Sjoden, Oskar Carls,

Elias Jungqvist.

AGES: Not 24 anymore.

FROM: Stockholm, Sweden.

OCCUPATION: Meatball inspectors.

HOBBIES: Rubbing our chests up against each other and pretending our tattoos are fighting.

LAST BOOK YOU READ: The Bell Jar.

LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Beating Elden Ring.

QUOTE: “Work hard, go fuck yourself.”

PROFILE: Featuring elements of no-wave, post-punk, and rock ’n’ roll, Stockholm’s Viagra Boys are emblematic of some of the best features of all those genres: overdriven, nihilistic, aggressive, melodic, even kissed by funk. Think Devo, the Screamers, Suicide, and the Birthday Party, with a happily obnoxious slink and punch as strong as anything by the Stooges.
