Amyl and the Sniffers - Knifey (Glastonbury 2022)

[@gandalfgreenhands]

She seems very sincere in her delivery of these lyrics. I get a feeling that each time she sings this- it really is from her soul . I'm happy she shares this with us.

@@ZCWA could be, but I agree with dude also, she pours that shit out though. Personally I enjoy it.

[@thebodiescannotveto]

She’s describing a universal female experience; these lyrics are likely inspired by her own experiences & perhaps by Aya Maasarwe, Eurydice Dixon, Jill Meagher & Maša Vukotić too.

[@TicklesTinkles]

One of the great things about Amy Taylor and this band is that they are accessible and down to earth. My wife and I saw them in Austin a few months ago, and the band members were out in the crowd like the rest of us and supporting the opening bands. She was more than happy to let us have a picture taken with her. I consider them to be one of my all-time favorite bands, and they're just getting started.

[@Spaghetti_policy]

I was hella pissed. I waited too long to buy tickets got the Hotel Vegas shows. Now they are blowing up like I thought they would. Lol. I’m in my 50’s and I absolutely dig watching this band. Amy is off the hook. Lol

[@JasonLowderTheRanga]

During covid lockdown, when all the Aussies could go nowhere - the band could travel around country victoria. There is a little pub a mate owns, it has a rickety outdoor stage. About 100 people came to watch them play. They were stoked to play some of their new stuff. If you've lived in Melbourne Australia, so much of their music is really relatable, about the music scene, the pubs, the people wandering the streets. This band is tops like a chicko roll.

[@stingylizard]

@@devinmillermedia Dayum,I caught the 2nd night. I'm jealous! Thoroughly enjoyed COFFIN set too. Love the rowdy Aussies,they remind me of desert Texans. Cheers!

[@stingylizard]

@@Spaghetti_policy I hear you,Hombre. My 22$ ticket cost me over 150$ and I was feeling like a potential sucker until COFFIN started their set. I'm a 50-something 'till next week. I'm so out of partying shape,I had beer hand for two daze afterwards. Them 2$ tall boys got heavy and stuck my hand in beer holding shape--I kept forgetting to drink! Plus,the stage diving and mosh pit never ended. I felt super old and super young,both. My first time to Hotel Vegas,enjoyed the crowd too. Cheers!

Punk to me is everyday blokes who don't care about public image and aren't manufactured like mainstream and pop music. Usually has to have guitars and they're not usually just singing about their love life. Of course, there are other elements like Rock based guitar music and so on but I do believe like bands like IDLES and Amyl & The Sniffers are closer to the type of bands that blossomed in the late 60's and 70's than most bands have in the last 40 years.
