Amyl and the Sniffers are an Australian punk rock band formed in Melbourne, Victoria in 2016 by vocalist Amy Taylor, guitarist Declan Mehrtens, bassist Calum Newton, and drummer Bryce Wilson. Quickly gaining international attention through explosive live performances and raw garage punk energy, the band became one of the defining modern acts in contemporary punk rock.
Known for their chaotic energy, sharp humour, and unapologetically direct songwriting, Amyl and the Sniffers revitalised classic punk spirit for a modern audience while maintaining a distinctly Australian identity.
Amyl and the Sniffers’ sound combines fast punk riffs, pub rock swagger, garage rock simplicity, and aggressive vocal delivery. Their music frequently explores themes of nightlife, working-class culture, excess, relationships, personal freedom, and social frustration.
The band are especially recognised for their high-intensity performances and their ability to channel classic punk aggression with modern personality and humour.
