“Move fast, be bold and trust your instincts – if there was a mission statement for Amyl and The Sniffers’ bruising and brilliant debut album, we suspect it’d be along those lines. Or, more likely, they’d tell you to piss off and not overthink things – it’s just a bit fun. That’s been their operating speed for the last two years, since their debut EP ‘Giddy Up’ was released on Bandcamp in 2016. Re”
“Amyl and the Sniffers' self-titled LP is an incendiary debut”
“The Aussie rockers’ unabashed fetishization of 1970s staples like punk, glam, and their country’s sharpie scene only helps fuel the invigorating rush of their music.”
“After a pair of bracingly combative EPs, and some incendiary live shows on their first visit to the UK a year ago, Melbourne’s Amyl and the Sniffers were suddenly the great hopes of rock’n’roll: guitars on full, drums thundering, lyrics barked and gleefully dumb. Still, it was hard not to wonder whether this was a bubble, sure to burst, or something that might last longer. Their debut full-length ”
“Amyl and The Sniffers have built a fearsome reputation for their chaotic live shows, during which frontwoman Amy Taylor crowd surfs and pours whiskey down the throats of people in the front row. It’s a frenetic energy that the Melbourne quartet, who emerged from a shared house as a joke, have applied to their composition technique: their debut EP, Giddy Up, was written, self-recorded and released”
