Alcopop! Records have announced that they have signed Faroese queer vegan punks Joe & The Shitboys and will release their new full length, Greatest Shits, on 12″ vinyl on the 29th August. The album compiles the band’s first 3 albums, that were originally released on 7″ vinyl due to their blistering 10 minute run times, plus a salvo of red hot new singles recorded at The Lullabye Factory in Amsterdam. To celebrate the news, the band have shared the AA single, Suckboi / Labels, which is out now and available to stream on all good digital service providers. Joe & The Shitboys will also be supporting Iggy Pop on his forthcoming May 2025 UK headline dates.

“On a snowy day, I got asked if I wanted to do a bullshit one-off punk single called ‘The Reson For Hardcore Vibes’, in a band called Joe & The Shitboys, and I was gonna be Joe. What was supposed to be bullshit, turned out to be fucking fire, thus we marched on, and did our best to break down the conservative values and general assholes in the Faroe Islands, while the rest of the world got to join in if they pleased. 3 ‘Reson For Hardcore Vibes’ albums on 7″ vinyl later, I present to you our first LP: “GREATEST SHITS”, a greatest hits album that coincidentally contains all three albums, but we’re also throwing in a brand new EP. “DAM.” was recorded on analogue in Amsterdam, and it’s our most ambitious project yet, treading into new grounds, and on new assholes. Hopefully we’re out of reasons for hardcore vibes now.”

“For ‘SUCKBOI’ I wanted to cherish the few good men. A Suckboi is the opposite of a fuckboi. It’s a broski who is giving, honest, emotionally intelligent and considerate. He doesn’t take up all the space in the room. He jacks you off when he fucks you in the ass, assuring mutual pleasure, despite potential awkward postures. Appropriately, we’re also paying tribute in the song to the biggest crocodile rocker outside of Florida, Sir Elton John. ‘LABELS’ came about when walking around in Amsterdam and spotting a clothing store called “We Are Labels”, which we found disgusting and hilarious. It looked like a welcoming of a capitalistic dystopia, where branded products define us, and we worship the gods of the new world: the given name of overpriced items.”
