JOE & THE SHITBOYS // CWRW
This autumn, Carmarthen will be graced by the Faroe Islands’ 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 – Joe & The Shitboys 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.
To date the band have released three albums, ‘The Reson For Hardcore Vibes’, ‘The Reson For Hardcore Vibes Again’, and ‘The Reson For Hardcore Vibes III’ - all receiving critical acclaim despite their modest and unconventional (aka punk) 10 minute total run time.
Among their numerous and vocal champions, Iggy Pop has recently hailed Joe & The Shitboys as the most exciting band in the world right now - and he’s not just talking. After using the band’s new single ‘MR. NOBODY’ as his walk-out music for a number of shows, he’s now invited them to join his 2025 UK tour, including a massive show at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace. As a long-standing advocate for the band, Iggy has played their output extensively on his BBC Radio 6 Music show, but his support goes even further. In his NME cover feature, he revealed that he played their music to Blink-182’s Travis Barker before he laid down the drums for album track ‘Neo Punk’ and even shared his admiration for the band with none other than Rick Rubin on the Broken Record podcast.
For those seeking further justification for hardcore vibes, Joe & The Shitboys promise more new music, more raucous live shows and more polite advice on how to live your life in 2025.
