Frontman Sebastian Murphy and bassist Henrik ‘Benke’ Höckert also talked to NME about working with Sleaford Mods’ Jason Williamson and headlining the Festival Republic stage Viagra Boys have revealed to NME that they have a new album on the way, with its release expected “maybe next year”, according to frontman Sebastian Murphy. The Swedish post-punk band met NME backstage at Reading Festival , with Murphy joined by the band’s bassist Henrik ‘Benke’ Höckert. Viagra Boy’s previous album, 2022’s ‘Cave World’ , saw them incorporate electronic elements into their sound, while its predecessor, 2021’s ‘Welfare Jazz’ , bore a distinct country flavour.

This time, explained Murphy, the band will include “a little bit of everything, hopefully”.

I think there’s a little bit of all sorts of genres in there, hopefully – excluding maybe R&B and stuff like that.

” With a laugh, he clarified: “There’s a lot of rock.” When NME commented that it seems the Viagra Boys sound could go anywhere, Murphy replied: “Yeah, that’s kind of the vibe we want. We want people to not really expect what’s coming.

“And who knows? Maybe it does sound exactly like it has before, but in my head it doesn’t. Hopefully there are new sounds in there and we’ve definitely taken different approaches to songwriting.” .
