Joe & The Shitboys

The queer vegan shitpunks, Joe & The Shitboys, formed with the intention of calling out shitty behaviour in the conservative Faroe Islands, where the rock scene is filled with boneless homophobes and meat-eating misogynists - and continue to take their aim at general vibe killers everywhere. The live shows are full of energy, with a barrage of songs often under a minute long, like “Drugs R’4 Kidz”, "Life Is Great You Suck" and “If You Believe in Eating Meat, Start With Your Dog”, being broken up by the flamboyant frontman roasting the audience relentlessly. The band (Joe, Ziggy Shit, Johnny Shit) have played every type of venue there is; DIY gigs on roof tops, public toilets, underground tunnels, museums and skateparks, as well as extensive bookings from major festivals. With rave reviews coming in from Iggy Pop, BBC Radio 6 Music, NME, DIY, Brooklyn Vegan and more, the band are already tipped as one of the most exciting new live acts around. "Great bass, great drummer hooked up really well with the guitar, with killer riffs, and really clever and catchy and uh.. WHAM vocals" - Iggy Pop (BBC Radio 6 Music) “Joe & The Shitboys were the best thing we saw at Iceland Airwaves … No-one is safe from their cheeky tongue and no-bullshit approach.” - NME “The best thing to happen to music since Beethoven, maybe" - Dork “The band are truly causing mayhem and we're so here for it.” - The Line of Best Fit Photo credit: Akira Carré
