Hey Justin, for your own interest google Sharpies Australia. Sharpies were an Australian thing around the same time as the UK punk but very different, had their variation on mullet haircuts, tight high wasted jeans and tight t shirts tucked in, very odd but cool dancing. They loved their loud music, the king was Lobby Loyde, as an AC/DC fan you're probably familiar with him. Actually if you watch a lot of early AC/DC footage there are little clumps of Sharpies in the crowd doing their stompy dancing, Rose Tattoo, Billy Thorpe, all that great Aussie rock. Amyl And The Sniffers have a fair bit of Sharpie about em, but without the violence

@@spudwifi5042 wow more Jinjer fans lol, and i have wallflowers to, I've got a few of there albums and they all are good, Macro is my favourite And cloud factory, but they are all good. But i think they truly shine live, she has so much energy and really gets into it. And live you can really appreciate her control between clean vocals and scream, some females singers can do it, but none have compared to her range in sound imo.

[@shayna3626]

The reggea track i think you're referring to is called Judgment and Punishment. And tbh i dont think Justin would get it. I watched them in Melbourne Australia and she is indeed one of the best vocalist in that genre I've heard. Justin seems to like "safe" music, hard-core Djent is not safe. He would hear her and say "but its just noise" I doubt he would appreciate it for what it is. I very much doubt in his record collection you would find any thrash or modern djent. I could be wrong and kinda hope i am. Everyone I've played Jinjer to has been blown away by not only her voice, but the backing group, especially as you mentioned there the only djent group that has incorporated ragge so well in some tracks, and some are very subtle like the track Noah. But no, our English man Justin would not understand why we love this music, it's not just noise, there's real meaning to her lyrics. But i would hope he would give them a listen, because i doubt he has heard anything like jinjer especially when she sings in her native tongue wich you rightly said is Ukrainian. It's funny because most think they are Russian lol.

Amyl and the sniffers are a brilliant pub punk rock band - well worth getting their albums ...

[@guntess550]

Would love to hear your thoughts on a DIY punk band from the UK called Hands Off Gretel! They’re incredibly underrated with an amazing female singer 🖤 Amyl & the Sniffers are one of the best bands out today, along with HOG.

[@seanbucke]

I seen these live recently..amazing live, so much energy

[@katierenaud5419]

Love this band! They’re opening for the foo fighters in Australia, I really hope they bring them to Canada with them

[@katierenaud5419]

Also can’t wait to see you in EDMONTON!! 9DAYS!!!

Don't come to Canada it's a communist shithole.

[@heather9393]

Opening for the Oils too

@@bronniem5884 I’ve seen foo fighters on the broken leg tour so I’m excited to see what Dave can do when he’s not restricted to a chair!

Absolutely loved this review J. I think the power of AATS is that they don't try to overreach - they work with what they have unbelievably well and the push boudaries internally - she the only singer I've heard that sounds even better when out of key and she know it and doesn't care and it ROCKS! "I'm short, I'm shy, I'm fucked up! I'm bloody ugly!" - 'Freaks To The Front'. But their real strength I feel is their live performances. They are so fucking tight live and it makes the crowd loopy with all that excess raucous energy! It feels like such a long time since we've heard a band that hasn't been a result of management and publicists, who have dragged themselves from the local community centres and pub, into a limelight they deserve - and you can justtell they're loving every minute of it. They may have naysayers but as Amy sneers, "If they don't like you as you are, just ignore the cunts!" and "Everybody in this room deserves to have fun!" A-fucken'-men! \m/

[@mattzetts6501]

really you should check out the band White Denim from Austin Texas. Their new album Crystal Bullets/ King Tears is phenomenal. Old school funk rock mixed with classic r and b. Melt yourself down.

[@carterUSM1961]

Got tickets for Edinburgh later this year !yaaaasss!

[@aenamabag]

They're kind of old news, in some ways, but I'd like to see your take on King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and their insane output of new music, and their evolving sound. I think they're averaging about 3 full length albums a year while touring. It defies comprehension.

[@desiolle2874]

I don't feel they're old news...they're ascending

[@astronaut-8975]

Yes!!!!! I'm so glad you listened to Amyl! Now we just need you to do one of these for Moon Walker 😏

You described Amyl and the Sniffers perfectly! I can never think of the words to describe them. She is a force like no other! If I were a rockstar, I'd be her! Love her energy!

[@jfdblues]

Amyl and the sniffers are cool, but the best band out of Australia currently are Tropical fuck storm, I highly recommend that you check them out!

[@daisysabashed9661]

Hey Justin! I'm a 16 yr. Old musician and your attitude and demeanor is extremely motivating. It would be very cool if you could possibly cover something ty segall! Cheers.

[@wormbaby666]

These guys are pretty amazing. I cant say I love ALL of their songs (maybe need a couple more listens), but i'd go to a live gig in a second! Side note: Amy Taylor teamed up with Viagra Boys to do this great John Prine cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX3PYqSmebFqj6M

spot on.. as someone that just loves anyone going apeshit with honesty whether they "have a technician's grasp on what they are doing" or are "just doing what sounds good to them at the limits of their experience" . it is absolutely "fragile energy" love that phrase and your take. Great vid!

This track made it onto an episode of Letterkenny. Not only does this show how good this band is, but it also shows how much Canadians love our rock & roll, metal, & punk music. Noice one, mate!

I'll take a pass on this band. I'm still reveling about Don Braco and have purchased 3 of their songs.

[@jabezhane]

I think that part where she dances round the warehouse is one of the greatest pieces of human movement ever captured on camera. It's fascinating in what appears to be its total spontaneity. I can watch it over and over.
