    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.

    Blackly comedic, this is a great debut. [Nov 2018, p.112]

Some of the songs felt half-assed and should have probably been cut out of the album, but the good ones were very good. Definitely a unique sound in the post-punk era that manages on certain songs to separate itself entirely from the too-smooth pop sound that trickles through in a lot of new artists debuts. If anything, the only songs I would have cut out are the over-saturated punky ones.… Full Review »
