Call of the Wild — Viagra Boys

Call of the Wild is a short, sharp shock of post-punk energy, a four-track EP that introduces Viagra Boys' signature blend of sneering wit, propulsive rhythms, and unexpected saxophone blasts. The sound is raw and immediate, steeped in the grime of urban nights and the agitated energy of a dive bar.

It's a record that feels both confrontational and oddly inviting, a soundtrack for embracing the chaos of modern life with a smirk and a swagger. The production is intentionally unpolished, giving the tracks a live, visceral quality that pulls you directly into their world of controlled abandon.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden, blaring saxophone entry that cuts through the driving bassline on "Research Chemicals".

The shift from Sebastian Murphy's deadpan spoken word to a guttural, almost yelped chorus on "Call of the Wild".

The relentless, almost hypnotic drum and bass groove that underpins "Sports", building a palpable tension.

The brief, chaotic guitar feedback and solo that erupts mid-track on "Can't Get Enough".
