Punk/Hardcore
It's often easy to miss the startling class problems that exist in Sweden. Thankfully Viagra Boys are on hand to deliver a short, or at least swift blow to the country's elite and their dominance of the arts, which is made even more cutting by the fact these brawling chart friendly-yet-gruff indie punk rockers were emulating the very voices they're now snarling at on their previous LP (2018's Street Worms). Talk about a hustle.
Musically things are just as accomplished as those lyrics, and while it's a rowdy, saliva-lipped aesthetic overall -this record barges past you at the bar in a sweaty rush to the pit - there's real scope at play too. From the poised blues refrains of 'Cold Play' to the contorted guitars and spoken word of 'Best In Show' and barroom rockabilly of 'Secret Canine Agent', it's weirdly, wonderfully and equally danceable and listenable.
