Biography

The bisexual 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 "Life Is Great You Suck", “Manspredator” and “If You Believe in Eating Meat, Start With Your Dog”, being broken up by the flamboyant frontman roasting the audience relentlessly. 
 The band have played every local venue there is, from G! Festival and the FMAs - where they won Band of the Year - to DIY gigs on roof tops, public toilets, underground tunnels, museums and skateparks. The response to their show at Iceland Airwaves led to a slot in the converted NME 100 tips list as well as extensive bookings from major festivals and the long-awaited UK tour in September 2021. 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. Now with the second album 'The Reson For Hardcore Vibes (Again)' out now, expect more ferocious fun to come from this incredibly unique four-piece.
