Australian garage punk Aussies AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS are a sensational live act,
I know, I saw them turning up the heat twice (so far). Sweaty fired-up rock havoc. They released their eruptive self-titled debut LP in 2019 and followed it up with the riff-tastic
Comfort To Me in 2021.
And due to public demand they keep on touring.
This summer they’ll invade the US. Here’s the cool
poster with the upcoming dates.
Go for it, Amyl.
For your eyes
Piping-hot Aussie punkette AMY TAYLOR and her SNIFFERS have two
blistering punk rock albums out, so far. Their self-titled cooking debut LP
(2019) and the holy smoke follow-up Comfort To Me (2021).
Amyl loses control and almost her head on this fucktastic live
version of the headbanger called CONTROL (from that debut CD).
Do try this at home…

Aussie rockers AMYL & THE SNIFFERS made a blitzkrieg impression last year with their
self-titled debut LP. A red-hot-blooded-deafening-retro-rock-powerhouse that leaves
your ears echoing long after it blasted through your trembling speakers.
And live??? OMG! Pure dynamite as Turn Up The Volume experienced in Antwerp last year. Manic hell cat AMYL looks like the twin sister of blonde punk Goddess Cherie Curry from 70s punk combo The Runaways and sets venues on fire with her bonkers stage presence. She’s pure dynamite and an overwhelming non-stop whirlwind!
This year the steamy band released a 3-track live EP Live At The Croxton (three bombs from the debut LP). The back to basiscs video for opener CONTROL makes you jump up and down like a kangaroo on illegal substances. No special effects, no arty farty visuals, only tons of adrenaline in motion. Oh my punkness!
Don’t lose your head, folks…

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…

BETH RETTIG, the imposing frontwoman of former British synth force Blindness started her solo project WHERE WE SLEEP last summer with the release of three stirring ambient tracks (Veins, Crawl and The First One). And just last week her 5-track debut EP, titled ‘EXPERIMENTS IN THE DARK‘ featuring members of The Fall, Echobelly and Curve hit the streets. Five mesmerizing electro grooves, five spellbinding expressions, five mood swings. All family emotionally, yet all different sentiments. Put your headphones on, dim the lights, sit down, close your eyes and absorb these five fascinating and emotive experiments…
1. WHAT I DESERVE
A slo-mo Siouxsie like introspection dominated
by burning guitars that do your head in…
.
2. THE DESERT
Intoxicating swagger, sensuous vocals,
cutting atmosphere, sticky chorus…
.
3. CONTROL
Bewitching ambiance and far-out resonance where
keys and guitars come together in a captivating way…
.
4. INTO THE LIGHT
Swirling drive, infectious flow, dance floor knockout…
.
5. EXPERIMENTS IN THE DARK
‘Sometimes I Can’t Breathe‘
Claustrophobic self-reflection…
