New Music Recommendations

Those demented Swedish punks, Viagra Boys, are back with their 4th full length record viagr aboys(no that’s not a typo). This absurd, self-deprecating and chaotic record navigates through the chaos of life. From your mom’s OnlyFans to realizing we’re just bags of meat, this album is ridiculous in the best way. Listen. FFO: Amyl and the Sniffers, IDLES, The Hives, Fontaines D.C.
