Amyl and the Sniffers have won the top gong at the Australian Performing Rights Association (Apra) awards, winning song of the year on Wednesday night for their track U Should Not Be Doing That.
The track – the first single from the Melbourne punk quartet’s 2024 album Cartoon Darkness – is a brazen kiss-off to industry gatekeepers and naysayers. “I think it’s a comedic way of rubbing the dog’s nose in its own dog piss after it weed on your favourite rug,” frontwoman Amy Taylor has said of the song.
