[@williamboyle8918]

55 year old metal drummer. Popped up as a KZbin suggestion. Prob listened to 200 hours in the last 3 weeks. Best part of music is discovering new bands.

I saw them play in Denver and I was in a pink dress surfin' all night and she SIGNED MY RECORD ON STAGE! You could really tell she loves what she does. She has such a pure soul... I LOVE YOU AMY!!!!

27:25 Amy gives some of the most insightful and articulate answers which shows how keen, observant and intelligent she is. Her ability to discuss all the issues she addresses with such clarity and tie it all together within the realm of human hope and compassion is super inspiring. I dig the music but more than that I dig the mind behind it. Stay humble and keep pushing ✌

Glad you have come through that period of depression. Valor

Keep on going brother never give up, these legends give the fuel

[@petakucas7389]

Love her vibe, music, outfits, hair, energy. People get jealous so easily. Keep rocking . You guys have have birthed better sounds

[@cathyjoy9214]

Absolutely adore Amy and the story about the whole band 'growing up' together, sharing a house and sharing hotel rooms. What an amazing group of humans

[@petrzeman2860]

Yeah, kinda reminds me of how Blondie started. Living on a crappy apartment together, surviving on toast bread and water. If band survives these harsh moments, they are something special and it shows in their work❤

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Glad they’ve been successful not only is she fantastic but the band behind her is so rock and roll, the feel is potent

[@clementineparadice1526]

ahhhh a 36 minute amyl and the sniffers interview!!! lucky us

[@nickylangworthy1306]

I reckon what a find ❤

[@sharktooths]

I saw them last year in Oakland and Fresno and they blew the socks off the entire crowd. The Fresno show was one of the best shows I saw all year. Plus the band is SO nice, and you can tell they are tight and really care about each other. Their opening band, Die Spitz, were also incredible, and there was a real positive vibe from everyone. They love what they do and I am happy to love them right back!

[@markusschroder6557]

How could anyone Not love them????

[@gostepsenglish4431]

[@Cranknfodder]

Natural, down to earth and exciting. Love this band on so many levels 🇦🇺

Ok, I'm fully in love once she started talking about the deceitful dystopian idiocracy we are living in

[@Blackbat-link]

I know how different the song "BIG DREAMS" might feel for some. But, it's sooooo amazing! And, i'm proud that AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS are experimenting with their music and tapping into this side of 'em! LOVE IT SMMM

[@danporuban1762]

Authentic, real, eyes wide open group of musicians - just what our World needs! Brilliant...good on ya Amy and the boys!

[@TDFlyer71]

Cracking interview, well researched, grounded to the album and band development. Comes across the band love being free to explore their sound which is fantastically refreshing..

[@SheenEstevezzz]

Shes so insanely Australian god love her, I do wonder why Facts wasnt on the album, might be my track of the year

[@VIDEOSFROMKARNS-jy8uh]

totally agree ... when I heard it wasn't on there I knew this must be a killer record

[@aspenandstuff]

I have the same question. It’s a great song.

[@tdtm82]

It's great how refreshing and how down-to-earth and sweet they are. People you want a pint with. Love the new album. My vinyl arrived on release day!

[@schrisdellopoulos9244]

Amy is the best since Debbie Harry. I'm a 63 year old retired post punk singer in a Detroit band with some local success, club DJ & zine publisher. So I've seen every band that has influenced the Sniffers. They are the real deal. "Cartoon Darkness" is as good as Ramones "Rocket to Russia," & ACDC's "Back In Black." There are still plenty of great young rock and punk bands and this lot proves it.

[@TheDocPixel]

Amy is definitely up there in good company, which please don’t skip over Shirley Manson from Garbage as a medium between them.

[@karlosxzy]

They've been a breath of fresh air.

[@mokeimusic]

This band really has got it together, looking forward to have the full album

[@Maitiu777]

Great interview! Amy never fails to impress me with her nuggets of wisdom.

Love ya so much - listen 4 years, living in Ukraine, wish ya gd luck.

My first thought when I heard 'It's Mine' -- "Oh they want me to DiE in the pit this year

[@l4s4gn3l0v3r]

on god this is such a great interview and the interviewer is great. great questions!!!

[@l4s4gn3l0v3r]

like dis Lucy Smith has really put in a lot of time to research the album, band and interact with them and make it a quality interview. they probably gave more to their answers because of how great they found it ! but thats just me...

[@traherne6726]

I’m a Divinyls, punk and Aussie rock fan, and I’ve been listening to their album for a fortnight. Love it.

[@preppypunk]

I can't believe how the boys just create these songs like it's nothin' and then Amy comes up with the insightful lyrics with little effort. I haven't finished watching this interview yet, but I was really enjoying it while eating my lunch in the deli today, with earbuds. So much of what she says resonates with me - everything is spot on. Everything they say is interesting to me.

[@suplexorcist316]

My new favorite band!! Can't get enough of em. Just picked up Cartoon Darkness on CD. Love it!

[@RileyGipson-wn4vu]

Saw y'all in Indy and it changed my brain chemistry I love y'all so much

so fun and hilarious, that song

[@davidtanderoe7821]

Best band in ages. Love everything about this band. I listen in the gym, on my scooter, in my car, in my bed. First real band in a long long time. The sky is the limit. World needed this now. Sniffers for world dominance. Amy is just the perfect punk/rock front chick i could imagine. Her energy is just magnificent. Cant get enough. Need vinyls. Need merchandise. Need moooore. Amy for president. Amy for public health. Now I will jump the fence to my neighbor garden pee on his garden midget and rip up all his flowers. Love you all.

[@Trad63]

Love Amy, love this band. Saw them in Orlando and can’t wait to see them again! Great show, great energy, excellent music and lyrics. ♥️♥️♥️

[@marlene_armlehne]

I love them so much. Saw them in Munich yesterday! But I have to say I needed some time to warm up to the new album. Really interesting hearing their thoughts on it and how the slight maturity and vibe change was recognizable to fans who have been listening for a long time! I love you Amy and the boys are great too! Also, I have to comment on the part where they said they have mostly male audiences... yesterday in Munich i had the same feeling. However, when I looked around I saw a lot of women and girls behind me. The guys were just more in the focus because they filled the first 3rd of the floor and especially the moshpit. I felt the women felt a bit too unsafe to push to the front. I usually enter moshpits especially for bands like Amyl but this time I stayed back to protect myself. So maybe Amy would like the idea of an all girls (and who ever feels as a woman/nonbinary) moshpit! I would LOVE that. I can speak for myself but as a woman I ESPECIALLY love Amy because she gives off such an effortless, no fucks given, confident, batshit crazy, intelligent, fun and strong vibe that is SUCH an inspiration and examplary to how I want to live my life in this patriarchal world. Freaks to the front! ❤❤❤ from Vienna!

[@johnsperka2253]

I KNEW IT! Amy is smart- articulate and a true artist- This band is a true Punk band- in your face attitude- built from what you got on hand and all about the music! I’m too old to dive in the Mosh pit but this band makes me want to give it a go!

[@ambergregory6621]

So incredibly happy I found this band!! My new love!! On repeat!!

[@tarrytwocents]

I have a few regrets in life but one of my biggest is messing up my opportunity to grab a pic with Declan. I saw Amyl and The Sniffers at the Falls Festival in Fremantle. They played directly after The Wiggles 👌🏻I was heading to merch stand when I realised Gus and Declan were walking in my direction. I went total middle aged fan girl and asked for a pic and Gus obliged. I was a little overwhelmed and grateful and completely aware of their personal space and privacy so I didn't want to take any more of their time so didn't think that Declan was down for a pic. I walked off and when I looked back Declan was just standing there, looking rejected. I should have gone back over but I didn't because Im a basket case🫠 It was me Declan. Not you ! 😂

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Aww dude! They were probably stoked to have been recognized!

[@davidmac6094]

I can categorically say Big Dreams is perfect. Different but in no possible way worse. The talent is unreal guys, thank you for the tunes.

Can't wait to see them play together... Wise young ones but such old spirits in sound

[@thordonar529]

In fact, when I discovered Amyl and the Sniffer, it had been a long time since I had heard a band as innovative, as dynamic, as interesting. And then, there is Amyl...

[@Trad63]

Amy, the way you are feeling is tied to the ‘4th turning.’ You tube it and read both books by Neil Howe. It will help. Could even be your next album. It will be your Sgt Pepper or The Wall…. ♥️

Legends!

[@Patrick-jj5nh]
