Amyl and the Sniffers on Tour
Melbourne-based punk rock group Amyl and the Sniffers are on the rise and back on tour in the U.S., bringing their lawless brand of Australian pub rock stateside in 2022. Onstage, singer Amy Taylor keeps the crowd amped with lyrics that scream of rage and reckless abandon, while Bryce Wilson creates absolute mayhem pummeling out massive drum beats. Guitarist Dec Martens and bassist Gus Romer keep the mosh pit moving with ear-shattering distortion, destructive riffs and plenty of power chords. Often compared to Motörhead or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Amyl and the Sniffers have made waves on both sides of the Pacific with their high-energy live performances. The 2022 Comfort to Me Tour is sure to deliver more mullets, unruly lyrics and over-the-top attitude to fans who snag tickets in time.
Amyl and the Sniffers Live in Concert
In 2016, Melbourne roommates Amy Taylor (vocals), Bryce Wilson (drums), Dec Martens (guitar) and Gus Romer (bass) hosted a bedroom recording session that resulted in the formation of Amyl and the Sniffers. While some artists spend years perfecting their debut release, the Sniffers were amazingly able to write, record, mix and release their debut EP Giddy Up in a whiplash-inducing 12 hours. The group gained local fame with Giddy Up, followed by their second EP release in 2017 titled Big Attraction. Fans flocked to shows to rock out to Taylor's irreverent lyrics and relatable rage about topics like money troubles in "Gacked on Anger." Quick success with live performances led to the band headlining their first UK tour in 2018 before supporting King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard in the U.S. After signing to Rough Trade, the Sniffers experienced an international breakthrough with their self-titled LP in 2019, which later won the ARIA Award for Best Rock Album. After successfully inciting mosh pits on multiple continents, and rocking out at venues like The Depot in Salt Lake City, Amyl and the Sniffers took the pandemic years to record 2021's Comfort to Me and gear up for their next international tour.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. I have nothing but respect for this band!
Great energy, great message, great songs. Bloody great people. Great bloody band!!! Who cares truly about there family/fans!
Amazing show- this band is even better live. So much energy! So glad to have seen them.
Amyl and the sniffers were awesome! They were hi energy, great with the crowd. Sounded fabulous, just like there albums maybe better. I highly recommend seeing Amyl and the sniffers! Amy looked great. Can’t wait to see them again!
Killer performance, Amy went buck wild Guitarist signed my set list.
The venue was great, the backup artists especially the two Bob's from England!! Amyl was great! Her lead guitarist was exceptional, definitely too loud though!!
Definitely glad I saw them. One of the best live acts currently!
Of course the venue looked great and was clean, not sticky on the floors like other venues that serve drinks are. When a guy was too aggressive in the pit he got kicked out and I was so great full for that. Only wished they handed out more water, but I did see it get handed out. Over all very fun and I felt safe if I needed help
Drove 2 hrs to see the show and glad I did. They did not disappoint. Lost my hearing for two days, but wouldn’t have it any other way 😌🤘
I know it is punk and there will always be political comments but I personally did not appreciate the attacks on the late Queen Elizabeth.
Whatever the band lacked in precision was more than made up for with exuberance and intensity. If you like a band that plays and sings so fast that you cannot tell what they are playing or singing, you will live Amyl And the Sniffers. I know I loved it.
I even left my phone in the bathroom and someone found it and I got it back! Crowd wasn’t too rambunctious and aggressive either. Can’t wait to see her again!
The whole show was amazing!!!! The venue was cool but I highly recommend watching amyl and the sniffers
Welcome to a new punk era. High positive energy! One of the best shows I've seen this year.
Punk music is alive and well. I had a blast. Its one of those shows that your going to hear & read about 20 years from now
Be prepared to have a wild raucous time with AATS!
