for a guy who physically looks like he would stab me in the liver in a dive bar for bumping into him, Sebastian Murphy seems like an incredibly nice and easy-going buddy i would totally spoon with
When he's not wearing his drug dealer glasses with his gut hanging out like he does on stage, I'm always surprised how much of a Chad the dude looks like.
Sebastian mentioning playing DEVO covers in High School makes so much sense because you can feel an early DEVO influence in some of their songs, Troglodyte specifically
Just found these guys a few weeks ago.. all the Shrimp Sessions are my favorite.. I’m an Uber/lyft driver and I play ‘Sports’ and ‘Ain’t Nice’, ‘Slow Learner’, ‘ADD’ etc for people who I think are cool enough to handle it.. The younger people especially like ‘Sports’, I even had a car full of kids in another car next to us at a stoplight tell me to wait while their phones figured out the artist. You guys are great, thanks for existing
Fuck yes, loved the new album and been obsessed with the band for a while now. The dude seems really lovely, and he's a fantastic frontman AND a phenomenal tattoo artist. Thank you for having him on
My view on procrastination has always been "the earlier you get behind, the more time you have to catch up". It's worked for me for many years through many disciplines. Thanks guys!
I just saw them last night in Nashville and holy shit. they FULLY surpassed my expectations. It was the BEST live show I have ever seen. Sebastion and the entire band were fucking amazing. I'm a lifelong fan now.
@@El_Kantoso many of the bands he reviews are on tour. So there are opportunities. Anthony said he was going to try to catch an October show. They'll be in the same room at one point.
Great interview! I've been listening to these guys' music just recently and really enjoying them. Sebastian seems really down to earth and just a decent person.
These guys hit me up on accident. My life changed instantly. So much energy and vibe. And sebastian is the man of coolness and dancing. Dont stop brothers
This is one of the best interviews I have seen in a long time! I have been a huge fan of the boys for some time and it’s great to finally get an inside look!
For anyone intrested, Sebastian is not just "some American" who ended up in Sweden. His mom is Swedish I think, and he speaks the language as well as he speaks English. What I'm saying is that yes, we're claiming him as our own. Edit: To anyone with English as their first language - am I crazy for saying that his accent doesn't sound 100% native? Could be that my mind has tricked me because the first time I heard him speak English I just assumed he was born and raised in Sweden(yes, his Swedish is *that* good), but I'm curious if anyone else hears it too. Some pronunciations here and there... enough to make me notice it at least.
Viagra Boys put on one of the best lives performances I’ve ever seen. This sounds dumb but the passion they have when they perform made me well up a bit (I was hungover and sleep deprived so those factors played a part I’m sure)
It's perfectly fine to get emotional at live shows. I've experienced that too. Seeing great bands live is like a spiritual experience at times, so much so it becomes overwhelming to witness such amazing talent firsthand. It can't be helped. Don't excuse it away. We as men are usually taught it's not ok by our social circles growing up.Embrace it & celebrate it.Thank you for being open about it.
Dude tons of music gets me like that. If it manages to touch a nerve, even one you don't understand, that is the signature of an awsome band/musician. Music without emotion or feeling is simply elevator music for life's blank and boring spaces.
Viagra Boys are one of the most interesting and fresh bands out there! Love these guys. I'm so sorry their gig in Plovdiv (Bulgaria) was cancelled due to the situation with flights in Europe. Hope to see them soon.
Saw them LIVE the other week. Only discovered them from your channel, and I'm so glad I gave them a chance, one of my new favorite bands. Off to new Cowpunk!
Had a friend send worms song ,listened to frog strap next ,a song about a spy frog with a gun in his jacket that doesn't show up on radar because it's cold blooded ,im fckn hooked 😂
I kept having Sports recommend tor on my streaming app and thought it was dumb. Then realized it's genius and looked into the rest of their music. Phenomenal stuff!
Henrik knew from the off there was something in Sebastian , front men are hard to find ! Obv his inclanation was right, VB kept me going through the lockup . Thankyou. Pecae.
I stumbled on Viagra Boys by mistake at some point and their high effort but at the same time zero fucks given energy flipped some switch in my psyche and i cant stop listening to their music.
Saw them open for Queens on Friday and have been obsessed since. One of the best opening acts I have ever seen. Fully formed. This was no baby band. They are ready for prime time. I was worried for Josh and the boys, fearing they were going to get blown off the stage, but VB pushed and accentuated Queen's groove vibe. They worked great together. But VB can go on a headline tour of theaters or better.
Anthony Fantano, interviewing Sebastian Murphy,wow! I been listening to Viagra Boys nonstop for a year now. Dudes a gamer eh?? GTA was fun back in the day. Viagra Boys Rock!! 🤘
Amazing band I only randomly stumbled into less than a couple months ago. Listen to them daily now. Mad how much the vinyls sell for on discogs. Gonna see them in January and can't fucking wait. Amazing frontman/lyrics/music/everything about them has hard wired itself into my brain. Fucking love this shit!
I relate so much to the procrastination. Every single uni project or work deadline I will leave until the very last second and making any decisions myself is a struggle. Something I'm working on!
Just discovered these guys in Indy a week ago and theyre now one of my favorite bands and ive been wearing out the play button on their albums. They stole the show and are one of the best live bands ive ever seen!
Never thought I'd get a song that represents me both musically/sonically & lyrically in "ADD", let alone it being a Viagra Boys song. But I absolutely love it.
Me too man... hearing other people identify these symptoms always hits me like a ton of bricks. Innatentive-type-ADHD is a subtle and insidious affliction
I’ve never related more to a human being I’ve never met than Sebastian. He’s a huge inspiration to me. Hope he’s doing okay, his songwriting is on another level. The band is incredible. Thanks for the music! The idea he proposes in cognitive diversion hypothesis is a legitimate psychological theory on adhd/add.
He's summerised ADHD and the struggles faced by those incredibly poignentley, we're not lazy, we know what needs to be done, but our disability prevents us from taking that crucial step to get it done, it's like a wall, but once we get past that wall, it'll get done, it'll get really done, it takes so much effort to get past the wall that when we do we appreciate it and capatalise on it. Make hay while the sun shines, cos it aint shineing much with adhd.
The first time I ever heard Viagra boys one of my immediate thoughts was "this dude has some major anxieties" now they're my favorite band in the world and can't wait for their toronto show in september
I saw them in Boston and saw on fantano’s story that he was also there. This is such a crossover episode for us three buddies. We call each other the three amigas lol
Viagra boys meets Cialis dudes. I procrastinate like that too Sebastian Murphy, I wrote all my lyrics last minute in the studio as we are recording as well, I thought I was alone in the aspect of being a lead singer in a punk band. But to hear he is exactly like me in that aspect makes me hella happy.
Chill out, what ya yellin' for? Lay back, it's all been done before. And if you could only let it be, you will see that I am the funniest YouT*ber of all time. Admit it, my dear follow*r ers
Seb is the man, I still smile from the moment when, towards the end of this year's show in Munich, DE he spontaneously asked from the stage if anyone had a joint to tighten it up a bit and the joint magically floated straight to him out of the crowd. He also looks like a giant tortoise.
I'm friends with his little brother, and it's crazy how similar their voices are having never met him (they're really far apart in age and growing up he had already move out)
I cant even keep watching past the first minute im so fucking floored Seb plays tarkov like ????????????? how do I get my ass in a discord call with sebastian immediately
not gonna lie I’m a little disappointed this video isn’t an earnest conversation and cautionary tale about the perils of viagra consumption and the problematic nature of its existence and unwavering support and funding, but it’s okay. I’ll get over it some day. this is in fact a music critic channel after all.
@@finkabambulovic2974 @Finka Bambulovic Agreed! I traveled from Serbia just to see them- finally got to experience first hand why every show is sold out

Its their worst album

@@cheekyshekel2856okay
I think its ok at best.
@@normstoner5603 What sort of stuff did you think was missing from this album?
I saw VB live, and was able to touch Seb’s beer belly. It was a spiritual experience.
Lets book an appointment so I can lick your hand
I heard it brings you good luck to rub Seb's beer belly
Phoenix, AZ?
@@kartelkilla YES! Great show
Your faith has made you healed!
Sebastian mentioning playing DEVO covers in High School makes so much sense because you can feel an early DEVO influence in some of their songs, Troglodyte specifically
Slow learner too
The whole concept for this record is Devolution, imo
@@Neuroticmancer Slow Learner reminds me of something Huey Lewis and the News might have written while doing research chemicals
Troglodyte sounds A LOT like Girl u want
I saw them live this month, and I had fun adding "she's just the girl / Just the gi - irl!" whilst singing along with "Troglodyte."
"I'm thinking about monkeys, or i'm thinking about shrimps"
Man I feel you!
Or Shrimp Monkeys, Shronkeys.

This band kicks ass-
I just found them a month ago but I been listening nonstop/
i havent heard a bad song yet!
Same here. They have layers like an onion. So good
He’s adorable when he smiles. Most charismatic frontman in ages
Check out John Dwyer frontman of Thee Oh Sees, really cool dude
Check out John Dwyer frontman of Thee Oh Sees, really cool dude
The dude's writing is freaking hilarious. His vocals absolutely ooze energy
He isn’t really a “front man”
@@End-Result He sings lead and writes most of the lyrics so yeah he is by definition
It's amazing seeing these guys blow up. They are amazing. Shrimp sessions is such a vibe and new ep is fantastic
Just the fact that Sebastian plays Tarkov moves Viagra Boys up in my list of favorite bands.
Imagine you're playing and you get clapped with a mosin from 300 metres by the frontman of Viagra Boys
I shit my pants when that was literally the first game that came out of his mouth
apperently he is also a massive metal gear solid fan/nerd, which just adds to his class in my eyes
Thanks for having him on and thank you Sebastian for speaking on your ADD and neurodivergence; it helps me feel less alone.
My view on procrastination has always been "the earlier you get behind, the more time you have to catch up". It's worked for me for many years through many disciplines. Thanks guys!
Not to mention, if I procrastinate, by the time I do the thing, I’m both older and wiser 😂
he is so down to earth, he feels like one of the bros - great interview
He's got a great vibe. Viagra Boys are special. Love them.
only seen them perform via you tube holy crap amazing
A great streak of interviews lately! This, Beato, St. Vincent etc. Keep up the great interviews!
And Stu from King Gizz!
dont forget about phil elverum, dj premier, and ghostface killah
great interview! Sebastian is the king of Self-deprocating Swagger 😂 the band are musical virtuosos. So much talent in this band 🤘
Didn't expect to love the album as much as I did, and enjoyed this interview a lot
These dudes kill it live man, love to see them again please come back to Sydney VB.
Having listened and loved the album already it’s great to hear Sebastian break down the album so eloquently. Great interview.
Traveled from Nebraska to Brooklyn to see them play! They were amazing and the crowd was amazing too! Can't wait for a chance to see them again!
Can't believe Fantano is now interviewing sports casters. Good luck with your side career!
I just saw them last night in Nashville and holy shit. they FULLY surpassed my expectations. It was the BEST live show I have ever seen. Sebastion and the entire band were fucking amazing. I'm a lifelong fan now.
I was there too and i agree, best show ever ever ever
@@jacksimpson7274 fuck I just discovered these guys and would have went to that show so fast!!. Hope they make it back to Nashville soon again
This whole band is so talented. Wish more people would check them out. I'm gonna push it as much as I can.
I think now that fantano is a more confident interviewer it’d be fun to see him do some in-person* again.
? this was live
you mean in person?
That could be cool but I'd imagine the pool of musicians to do in-person interviews with is very limited (not only for distance reasons)
@@El_Kantoso many of the bands he reviews are on tour. So there are opportunities.
Anthony said he was going to try to catch an October show. They'll be in the same room at one point.
Such a great interview! It really provided a great view into Seb that I haven’t been able to get from other interviews.
You are absolutely killing it with these interviews
I love this Bert and Ernie interview!
Saw them in Helsinki for the last show of their recent tour. Was even better than I expected.
I am waiting for them to come back to Helsinki aaaaggggghhhh
@@GadBoDag I held my tickets from pre-covid. So glad I did!
Sebastian looks like 25 and 50 simultaneously lol, love the Cave World album and loved watching them open for QOTSA
Great interview! I've been listening to these guys' music just recently and really enjoying them. Sebastian seems really down to earth and just a decent person.
Punk rock loser has quickly become one of my favourite songs. Such a funny and badass song that you can sing along with!
Not to mention the choreography in the video, chiefs kiss ❤️ 🤌🏻
I’M LOOSE!

My theme song!! 🎧

Most relateable interview ive heard on this channel. Thanks for getting him on. Im super into them now.
Creepy Crawlers is hysterical, great new album.
The fact he mentioned he loves " internet comment etiquette" just made me love him even more! Easily one of the best YT channels out there!
If you have a chance to see these guys live, it is a must go show.
This man is the coolest person to me
His artwork/tattoos are really fucking dope, remind me of the book "the stinky cheeseman" from when I was a kid.
Saw them LIVE the other week. Only discovered them from your channel, and I'm so glad I gave them a chance, one of my new favorite bands. Off to new Cowpunk!
The fact he plays Tarkov basically just made him my favorite person.

This is an absolutely incredible interview. Thank you so much, Anthony and Sebastian!
Thank you Anthony, I really like this review!

Sebastian Murphy: what a great guy. One of the most thoughtful and observant artists...very interesting.
I never thought a guy with such a crazy musical persona would be so relatable
Dude his lyrics are the most relatable shit
I love how he imitates himself in a different voice than his actual voice
Never thought I'd get a song that represents me both musically/sonically & lyrically in "ADD", let alone it being a Viagra Boys song. But I absolutely love it.
Can relate
You didn't have to tell everybody about my erectile disfunction Anthony.... I trusted you melon man.
Sounds like you should be listening to Viagra Boys. I think it will help your problem.
His description of ADD is my life in a nutshell. Perfectly described! Hi five!

@@ChappieCrosby Yep. We're not alone in this shit.

The house beat switchup on big boy is so damn good, reminds me of Andrew Weatherall / primal scream.
Andy would’ve made an amazing remix for that tune too.. rip!
I thought Big Boy sounded like a 90s Beck song!! Glad Sebastian Murphy is here to validate me
This was so good. great to hear a walk through this music because it’s so important.
I’ve never related more to a human being I’ve never met than Sebastian. He’s a huge inspiration to me. Hope he’s doing okay, his songwriting is on another level. The band is incredible. Thanks for the music!
The idea he proposes in cognitive diversion hypothesis is a legitimate psychological theory on adhd/add.

He also looks like a giant tortoise.
In my head cannon it is Cal Chuchesta who is featured on Big Boy
Man plays Squad & DS and made one of the best Punk albums of the year go off
I control + f'd a long way to find any mention of squad. Blown away he plays it
I'm friends with his little brother, and it's crazy how similar their voices are having never met him (they're really far apart in age and growing up he had already move out)

Love that Sebastian watches the same shit I do on YT. Just makes me want to divulge even deeper in the V-boys
Recently found them from Josh Homme bringing them up in a Bill Burr interview. Amazing band
Was less of an interview and more of a podcast, to be clear.
It took me a while to notice the parallel between the song "Can't get it up" and the band's name
FUCK YEAH, So good viagra boys is the best thing to come out of sweden in a long time
Don’t forget about Monolord lol 😂
Gustavus Adolphus II and Bladee
Very nice to know that the lead singer of one of my favorite bands is a Gamer.
