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 “Save The Planet You Dumb Shit”, "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 and Ollie Shit) have played every type of venue there is; roof tops, public toilets, opening ceremonies for North Atlantic sub sea tunnels, museums and skateparks, and have also appeared on their fair share of major festival line ups around Europe and North America, from Boardmasters to Roskilde and Lowlands, as well as their home country festival G!.
To date the band have released two albums, ‘The Reson For Hardcore Vibes’ and ‘The Reson For Hardcore Vibes Again’, both receiving critical acclaim despite their modest and unconventional (aka punk) 10 minute total run time. For those seeking further justification for hardcore vibes, Joe & The Shitboys promise more new music, more international live appearances and more polite advice on how to live your life in 2024.
