<\/p>\nThe queer vegan shitpunks, Joe & The Shitboys, formed with the intention of<\/p>\n
calling out shitty behaviour in the conservative Faroe Islands, where the<\/p>\n
rock scene is filled with boneless homophobes and meat-eating misogynists –<\/p>\n
and continue to take their aim at general vibe killers everywhere.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The live shows are full of energy, with a barrage of songs often under a<\/p>\n
minute long, like \u201cSave The Planet You Dumb Shit\u201d, “Life Is Great You Suck”<\/p>\n
and \u201cIf You Believe in Eating Meat Start With Your Dog\u201d, being broken up by<\/p>\n
the flamboyant frontman roasting the audience relentlessly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The band (Joe, Ziggy Shit, Johnny Shit and Ollie Shit) have played every<\/p>\n
type of venue there is; roof tops, public toilets, opening ceremonies for<\/p>\n
North Atlantic sub sea tunnels, museums and skateparks, and have also<\/p>\n
appeared on their fair share of major festival line ups around Europe and<\/p>\n
North America.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To date the band have released three albums, \u2018The Reson For Hardcore<\/p>\n
Vibes\u2019, \u2018The Reson For Hardcore Vibes Again\u2019, and \u2018The Reson For Hardcore<\/p>\n
Vibes III\u2019 – all receiving critical acclaim despite their modest and<\/p>\n
unconventional (aka punk) 10 minute total run time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Among their numerous and vocal champions, Iggy Pop has recently hailed Joe<\/p>\n
& The Shitboys as the most exciting band in the world right now – and he\u2019s<\/p>\n
not just talking. After using the band\u2019s new single \u2018MR. NOBODY\u2019 as his<\/p>\n
walk-out music for a number of shows, he\u2019s now invited them to join his<\/p>\n
2025 UK tour, including a massive show at London\u2019s iconic Alexandra Palace.<\/p>\n
As a long-standing advocate for the band, Iggy has played their output<\/p>\n
extensively on his BBC Radio 6 Music show, but his support goes even<\/p>\n
further. In his NME cover feature, he revealed that he played their music<\/p>\n
to Blink-182\u2019s Travis Barker before he laid down the drums for album track<\/p>\n
\u2018Neo Punk\u2019 and even shared his admiration for the band with none other than<\/p>\n
Rick Rubin on the Broken Record podcast.<\/p>\n
