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

    The depraved and descending post-punk of ‘Down in the Basement’ sets the blueprint for Viagra Boys throughout most of the album, and on some tracks it feels a bit repetitive at times. The factor that distinguishes these tracks from each other are the odd and uncouth characters being described.

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 entirely from the too-smooth pop sound that trickles through in a lot of new artists debuts.
