AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS perform with support from Die Spitz.
Amyl & the Sniffers, the Melbourne, Australia rock band fronted by Amy Taylor, released their sophomore album Comfort To Me a few weeks ago via ATO Records/Rough Trade to a massive reception. The record hit #1 on Billboard's Alternative New Albums chart, #2 on both Heatseekers and Top New Artists Albums, #4 on Independent Albums, #7 on Rock Albums, #9 on Alternative Albums, and made the top 20 on the Album Sales chart. Across the pond has made BBC 6 Music's Album of the Day, and on the band's home turf it was named Triple J's Featured Album of the Week.
Now, after a triumphant release from the world's longest lockdown in Australia, Amyl & the Sniffers announce their long-awaited return stateside for a U.S. 2022 tour. In addition to the band's previously announced show at Music Hall of Williamsburg in December which sold out in less than one day, the Sniffers will tour Spring 2022.
Comfort To Me, which was co-produced by the band and Dan Luscombe, is the follow-up to Amyl & the Sniffers' critically acclaimed 2019 self-titled debut album, which won Australia's esteemed ARIA Award for Best Rock Album and saw the band tour their anarchic and ridiculously fun live show internationally for the past two years. With its lyrics largely written during the Australian Bushfire season, when The Sniffers were already wearing masks to protect themselves from smoke in the air, Comfort To Me came together in a 3-bedroom apartment where the four band members quarantined together during COVID-19 lockdown. The result is a less spontaneous and more darkly considered record that masterfully captures the essence of the band like never before. "This album is just us -- raw self expression, defiant energy, unapologetic vulnerability," says Taylor. "It was written by four self-taught musicians who are all just trying to get by and have a good time."
~~~~~~~~
Punk animals Amyl and The Sniffers have risen up from the sticky carpets of Melbourne's underground music scene to storm the world stage. Renowned for their chaotic, ball-tearing live show, Dec Martens (guitar), Bryce Wilson (drums) and Gus Romer (bass) smash through the hooks at breakneck pace while "human firework" Amy Taylor lights up the stage -- an exhilarating ride that routinely leaves fans covered in blood, sweat and saliva.
Amyl and The Sniffers self-released two EPs before signing to King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizards' Flightless Records label in Australia and joining the band on a 22-date tour of the USA. Shortly afterward, Amyl and The Sniffers signed to ATO Records for North America and Rough Trade for the rest of the world -- the first Australian band to sign as album deal with Rough Trade since The Go-Betweens.
Released in May 2019, Amyl and The Sniffers' self-titled debut album earned the band a spot on the BBC1 playlist plus rave reviews around the world. At home, the band scored Album of the Week on Double J, 3RRR and FBi radio, and hit the spot on the Australian vinyl chart, an ARIA Award for Best Rock Album, and a place on the Australian Music Prize shortlist. Internationally, the band became media darlings, with features appearing in publications as diverse as Thrasher, MOJO and The Guardian to Vogue, Vice and Flaunt.
From high fashion to dirty punk zines, heaving back rooms to major festival stages, the band continues to explode boundaries, giving no fucks and winning new fans every time they play.
