Amyl and the Sniffers are an australian punk rock band formed in Melbourne in 2016, consisting of Amy Taylor, Bryce Wilson, Declan Mehrtens, and Gus Romer. The group started spontaneously and quickly gained attention for their raw energy and irreverent attitude. Their 2019 self-titled album, produced by Ross Orton, cemented their name and earned them the Best Rock Album award at the ARIA Awards. The successor, Comfort To Me (2021), reinforced the band's international impact, while their latest album, Cartoon Darkness (2024), recorded with producer Nick Launay, expanded on the themes addressed, mentioning technology, climate, and social alienation, without ever losing the fast-paced and incisive punk sound that characterizes them.

Their recognition is also due to their explosive and intense concerts, led by the charismatic presence of Amy Taylor, whose energy and defiant vulnerability have become a true trademark. Musically, Amyl and the Sniffers mix classic punk and punk rock with a direct and noisy aesthetic, building fast songs, satirical lyrics, and an attitude that favors honesty and immediate impact. They have varied influences - from the Australian punk tradition to unexpected references such as Dolly Parton - which contribute to the group's distinctive sound identity, which continues to assert itself as one of the most relevant names in contemporary rock.
