In the mid-2000s, Joe And The Shitboys came out of the punk scene in Melbourne, Australia. The band was led by Joe Smith, who sang and played guitar. They were inspired by hardcore rock and punk bands from the 1970s. Chaos Rising (2007) and other early demos and self-released EPs became popular in underground clubs. Their style, which was both aggressive and melodic, quickly made them a mainstay in Australia's lively punk rock scene.
The band's first full-length album, Anarchy Anthem (2010), made it to the indie charts and got good reviews for its raw energy and socially charged lyrics. They have played at many festivals in Australia and New Zealand, including Big Day Out (2011) and Soundwave (2012). Working with punk legends like The Saints and Frenzal Rhomb helped them gain credibility and made their live shows must-see events for fans of high-energy punk music.
Joe And The Shitboys just put out Riot City Nights (2023), and they still play sold-out shows at clubs and festivals. Their live shows often include songs that fans love, like "Revolt Tonight" and "Break the Chains," and the crowd gets really into it.
