    Viagra Boys' debut is a blistering album full of raw and loud energy. This is unlike any post-punk album I've heard. Its a little rough round the edges, and some songs do fall flat, but when its good, its really **** good

    A very good debut for Viagra Boys, dark and moody, when I first heard 'Worms', I thought this is what death sounds like (maybe a bit exaggerated, but nonetheless). 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 entirelyA very good debut for Viagra Boys, dark and moody, when I first heard 'Worms', I thought this is what death sounds like (maybe a bit exaggerated, but nonetheless).

    Street Worms is a fine example of how to subvert expectations, and it’s a fine example of how to do ‘punk’ in 2018.

    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.
