Amyl And The Sniffers

Watch Red-Hot Punk Tornado AMYL And THE SNIFFERS Go Apeshit With Live Version Of ‘CONTROL’…

Posted on by JL

Memorable live moments…

16 March 2020

One of the loudest sensations of 2019 was, undoubtedly, Australian punk tornado
AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS with their smashing self-titled debut album and their
kamikaze concerts as I experienced myself when they came, saw and conquered
the city of Antwerp in Belgium last year. Check my impressions here.

The band just announced a 3-track live EP on 7″. Ahead of it comes footage of their knockout rendition of ‘CONTROL‘, one of the hottest tracks on their debut LP, filmed
in August 2019 at Croxton Bandroom in the band’s hometown of Melbourne. Watching
the hot-blooded performance you wonder when hyperkinetic frontwoman Amy Taylor‘s head will explode. Hell bloody hell yeah!

Go apeshit too right here…

Best Concerts Of 2019 (Pt 1) – Here Are Kamikaze Rockers AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS…

Posted on by JL

Turn Up The Volume looks back at his favourite concerts of 2019…

AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS – Het Bos, Antwerp, Belgium – 11 June 2019

Here’s the original review…

THE BAND
A non-stop volcanic rawk & roll bolide from down under, led by the charismatic and the stormy frontwoman Amyl Taylor. An uproarious Melbourne based punk turbine everybody is talking about right now. Imagine a lethal cocktail of The Runaways (Joan Jett‘s teenage band) and metallic fury Plasmatics (with the legendary Wendy O. Williams) fueled by an eruptive Motörhead drive. Final result: hot-tempered, neurotic and fiery pandemonium!

THE ALBUM
The band released their self-titled firework debut album last May. A boiling record filled with 70s influenced blitzkrieg jackhammers that drive you totally out-of-your-mind and want you to smash your head against the wall. Check the insane heat out right here…

THE CONCERT
Yesterday the Aussie tornado invaded Antwerp, Belgium. Holy shit! What a gash gash gash!
Stage beast Amyl was all over the place, on and off the podium, while screaming, sneering and spitting at the top of her lungs assisted by an ecstatic mosh pit crowd that shouted the whole setlist along word by word. Kamikaze rock ‘n’ roll at its very best. SWEATY! FERVENT! LOUDMOUTHED! MAD! RED-HOT! RABID! RAZOR-SHARP! Terrifically breathtaking speedy tumult that does your hungry head in the way you really love it. Here’s a whirling idea of this gang’s dynamite craziness. Go and see them if you can…

Hello Antwerp…


Pure dynamite…


Bang it up…


Let it fly…


Hell yeah…

TURN UP THE VOLUME’S ALL STAR TEAM – Best Albums Of 2019… So Far

Posted on by JL

The albums that had a buzzing impact on Turn Up The Volume‘s greedy ears so far this year…

all

‘Drogel‘ by FONTAINES D.C. (Dublin, Ireland)
A razor-sharp modern day post punk record about youth’s anxiety and apprehension for the future. Packed with adrenalized ripsnorters having an instant impact on your body’s movements. These young Irish wolves with their charismatic frontman will be big soon.

Play here…


.
‘Serfs Up!’ by FAT WHITE FAMILY (London, UK)
South-London‘s desperadoes are back with a versatile record of multi-layered tunefulness, hypnotic grooviness and funky psychedelia. Less provocative, but still enough wicked tales and barbed observations. Half speed, half valium. And live still one of the trenchant best!

Play here…

.
‘Schlagenheim’ by black midi (London, UK)
Indie guitar explosiveness with an experimental bravado, a deafening weightiness, and an acute vox in the middle. Totally refreshing, nastily cutting and forthright. Imposing debut!

Play here…

.
‘Welcome To Silvertown’ by SAINT AGNES
After years of sweaty work this 4-headed British psycho-blues-rock turbo released its
RIP-ROARING debut lonplayer filled with filthy licks, devilish hooks and hair-rising guitar electricity while singer/guitarist Kitty Austen leads the wicked troops with sensual panache!

Play here…

.
‘Amyl And The Sniffers’ by AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS (Melbourne, Australia)
70s punk and glam rock revisited with kamikaze frontwoman Amyl Taylor spitting and sneering madly and wildly. The Runaways, The Plasmatics and Motörhead, all in one. Ace!

Play here…


.
‘Peuk’ by PEUK (Belgium)
Smashing debut achievement by this fresh Belgian grunge engine with clamorous and soul-stirringly howling singer/guitarist Nele screaming her heart and lungs out and leaving you behind out of breath and pretty puzzled. Gloriously noisy and exorcistic! Hallelujah!

Play here…


.
‘I Like You but Not Like That’ by THE DARTS
Sultry, steamy, snappy, savage, sensual, sweltering and sizzling. Yep, THE DARTS are back with their second LP! Furious garage fireworks to go nuts to the way YOU and THEY like it.

Play here…


.
‘Musica Alla Puttanesca’ by MADONNATRON (London, UK)
Spellbinding sonic mantras wrapped in seductive tunefulness, both poppy and punky. Spooky stories interwoven with astute humor. And… best album title AND artwork in ages.

Play here…


.
‘Pursuit Of Momentary Happiness by YAK (Wolverhampton, UK)
This glowing trio’s second LP surprises in a bizarre, yet very fascinating way by its mystifying mix of nastily loud and strangely quiet, its fuse of reflection and rage. Top!

Play here…

Eleven Knockout Tracks on repeat this past month!
A hot cocktail of rip-roaring rippers and cracking cuts.
Here’s Turn Up The Volume‘s Knockout May Team!

.
1. ‘My Way’ by THE DARTS (L.A/Phoenix, US)
The only crazed way, is The Darts way. This corker is on these fiery garage bats’ 2nd album.

Ignore the fake news. Rock and roll is not dead!! These sweaty Aussies are the living proof.

3. ‘The Witching Hour’ by SAINT-AGNES (London, UK)
Blues rock voodoo that nails you to the cross. So will debut LP ‘Welcome To Silvertown’.

4. ‘Meat Week’ by BROKEN BABY (L.A. CA, US)
Loud and crystal clear tirade bottled in a motorik bass/drum beat pushed groove. Yeah!

5. ‘Calm Down Aka I Should Not Be Alone’ by EZRA FURMAN (Evanston, IL, US)
A totally not-calm corker, full of peppy vivacity and fervent emotion from upcoming LP.

6. ‘Even Tough’ by HOLY MAGICK (Brighton, UK)
A magnetic trance-like groove that sticks from the get-go. Discover their debut LP here.

7. ‘Shake It‘ by FERAL FIVE (East London, UK)
Tremendous racy electro killer with an instant impact on your hips, feet and mind…


8. ‘The Joker’ by THE STONE BIRDS (Portsmouth, UK)
From a slow-burning torch to a droning steamroller with attitude and swagger. Score!

9. ‘Lonesome Prairie’ by SOUVENIR DRIVER (Portland, OR, US)
Glorious amplified pop pearl from their new stellar album A Dangerous Crossing.

10. ‘Little Romance’ by ECHOTAPE (South England)
Ecstatic tonality, effervescent flow, bang-up vocals, and an exuberant chorus. Top!

11. ‘Hesitate’ by SOCIAL STATION (Washington D.C., US)
Warm synths, infectious percussion, pulsating bass, and dreamy vocals. Melancholic gem!

AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS Will Blow You Off Your Socks With Hot-Blooded Ripper… ‘MONSOON ROCK’

Posted on by JL

Brand new sonic impulses…

7 March 2019

After two nasty EPs Giddy Up (2016) and Big Attraction (2017) Melbourne’s hot gang AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS are gearing up to conquer the whole wide world with their debut LP on 24 May. In the meantime let’s go totally gaga to their smashing, title track, single MONSOON ROCK. A sweaty, raw, rip-roaring sledgehammer. An anarchic wallop that will blow you off your socks, folks. Frontwoman Amy Taylor‘s flaming rapping rock ardency is all over the place while deranged guitars and a blasting bass/drums turbo pump up the electricity to an insane level. ROCK ‘N’ ROLL IS NOT DEAD! Here’s why…
