Street Worms, their debut album, is a grand introduction. Viagra Boys manage to mock everyday negative qualities-boasted virility, misplaced classism, and blissful ignorance-with sincerity and ambivalence. Like most mid-’90s WWE characters, the Boys depend as much on exclamatory writing as hammy performances. Down in the Basement emerges with an instant snarl, the rhythm section pulsing with restraint and grit to match Sleaford Mods. The album’s final lyrics- The same worms that eat me/Will someday eat you, too -leave Murphy’s lips dryly, an attempt to put every self-absorbed person already mocked in their place.
I had a dream I was under the ground My friends and family were buried all around and a Worm took a bite of me And then he washed it down with a bite of you. The same worms that eat me will someday eat you too They gonna eat you. Nibbled on your feet and they nibbled on my toes They become the same when our bodies decompose You'll turn into dirt someday, same dirt as me Like one becomes a two and a two becomes a three
Viagra Boys create post-punk songs in the ilk of The Men or Parquet Courts, but blues is also a distinctive vein running throughout new album Street Worms. This is infused through their ace-in-the-hole saxophone use and also Seb’s tales of woeful characters in each song– although these are not just down-on-their-luck losers, but mentally unwell societal outcasts. I'm sorry but Viagra Boys is too good of a name to even ignore! This album did not disappoint! The lyrics are insightful yet hilarious and the amount of charm here is admirable! Wiener Dogs are fucking everywhere (in both ways!) and greasy tennis balls will smack you in the face, followed by you quoting with pride on your face, "Basketball"!
