Amyl And The Sniffers are one of the most thrilling bands arounds. For the past ten years, they’ve been playing their scrappy “pub rock” – funny, ferocious and uplifting guitar songs with boisterous, shout-along hooks – with an unrelenting, slightly chaotic energy at whatever venue will have them. It’s fast, it’s snotty and it’s guaranteed to get people moving.
It's why they opened for Fontaines D.C. at Finsbury Park this summer and it’s easy to see how they got the job supporting fellow Aussies-done-good AC/DC in stadiums across their home country next month. On Saturday night, Amyl And The Sniffers played their biggest ever headline gig at London’s Alexandra Palace.
