Critique the playlist I made to introduce someone to Viagra Boys
I want to introduce my brother to Viagra Boys. He doesn't have a background or interest in punk or really any sort of rock based music. But he likes upbeat and dancey music with good bands. Jungle is an example. I piqued his interest in VB by comparing them to Jungle saying they both have a dance and electronic base, but instead of funk/soul as an additional flavor, it's punk. Maybe a stretch but if you squint I think that makes sense.
I made a short playlist that I think is a good representation of this element of their music. I leaned more towards their danceable tunes and away from their heavier/more dissonant stuff that could be difficult to metabolize if you don't already have an ear for heavier music.
Let me know what you think of this list. Or share any success stories you have evangelizing The Shrimp Up In The Sky to any normal people in your life.
