Viagra Boys

Welfare Jazz

$60.00

Welfare Jazz is the second studio album by Swedish post-punk band Viagra Boys. Ever the band drenched in satire, they return with their brand of horn-filled, searing post-punk and rejection of standard genre trope's to deftly lay waste to society's normalization of toxic masculinity, racism, misogyny, classism, and self-obsession. Even the album's title has a layer of satirical depth; the transliteration from Swedish of the term used for the government's financial support of jazz musicians cuts to the quick of institutionalized classism and prioritization.
