From Street Worms (2018). Street Worms is the debut studio album by Swedish post-punk band Viagra Boys, released on 28 September 2018 by Year0001. The album's personnel list credits Benjamin Vallé with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Standard Telecaster through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 410 IV, the rig we use for Viagra Boys' other songs from Street Worms, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
