"Super cool live album from the Brew era. Heard it for the first time when I was maybe 14 and it really opened up for me what music could be like, how direct it could be. This is like live versions of those songs. So much energy."Watch this moment

"It's a bit more experimental than his earlier self. And he like really stretches things maybe too long. Sometimes it sounds like he grabs every idea and like, 'Okay, I have this idea. I stretch it for 5 minutes.' It could be a bit annoying to listen to, but it's really cool."Watch this moment
"It's crazy but really good. And this one of the songs we're kind of inspired from to the new record as well with some hand clapping stuff. Scaring the hoes."Watch this moment
"Classic albums, the Pixies inspire for both of us for Viagra Boys. It's great. So many good songs on there. Yeah, so many good songs and insanely good and I guess they're very influential on all the bands like Nirvana and what else to come from the '90s and up till today."Watch this moment
"Classic album. Modern classic as well. Yes. Or maybe not so modern anymore. But it still feels modern."Watch this moment
"Maybe the most influential sax player for me. When I feel that I have lost what I'm doing, I put this on and I just play along and it always does the trick. And this like if you're talking about energy, I don't know what they did before they recorded this, but they did something right."Watch this moment
