Viagra Boys were the musical guests on last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, where they performed their single ‘Troglodyte’. A band like Viagra Boys do not get mentioned enough in the discussion of today’s punk, but last night (November 2), the six-piece infiltrated homes across the world with a high-octane performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The Swedish punkers performed “Troglodyte”, a popular track from their latest release, 2022’s “Cave World”, and with barely enough room to fit the full band on the stage, Viagra Boys still managed to replicate the energy of the original recording and bring it to life in front of the world. This was the band’s official late-night television debut.
Viagra Boys have been slowly crawling their way up the reigns of punk since their 2016 debut EP, “Consistency of Energy”. Their brand of punk pulls from all eras of the genre and breaks them down to their most minimalistic form, they used what’s left and built a sound all to their own, a sound that has been evolving since their first release. With each release Viagra Boys tighten up their sound and their new album is no different, “Cave World” is an immersive experience that puts the band’s world view through a kaleidoscope of colors and personalities.
Viagra Boys frontman Sebastian Murphy stood shirtless at center stage with a chest full of tattoos while his trusty band packed onto whatever real estate was left for an unforgettable performance of “Troglodyte”. Everyone sounded tight throughout the song but the most impressive aspect of the band’s performance was their energy. Without much room to move around on stage, Murphy was still able to captivate the audience while the band never missed a step.
‘Troglodyte’ is taken from the Viagra Boys’ latest LP, “Cave World”, which arrived earlier this year. Ahead of its release, the Swedish post-punk band also shared the singles ‘Punk Rock Loser’ and ‘Ain’t No Thief’.
