AMYL & THE SNIFFERS - S/T VINYL
There's a pub somewhere in Melbourne with this record permanently on the jukebox, and that pub is the best pub in the world.
Amyl and the Sniffers arrived in 2019 like a steel-capped boot through a plate glass window. Amy Taylor's snarl, the band's locked-in garage punk fury, and a debut record that felt like it had been recorded live in your lounge room at 2am, whether you wanted it or not. This is the sound of Australian punk at its most alive, equal parts confrontation and invitation, the kind of record that makes you want to start a band or at least throw something. It sits perfectly in the alternative music canon alongside Aussie legends and holds its own against anything coming out of the global punk and grunge underground right now.
Pressed on egg yolk coloured vinyl. Standard LP format. For fans of the Scientists, Cosmic Psychos, Bikini Kill.
