HOLY (F-#%$ING S&!T)

Amyl and The Sniffers have just unleashed their latest sonic assault on the world with “Jerkin’,” and it’s a blistering reminder of why they’re at the forefront of modern punk rock.

Fresh off their upcoming album “Cartoon Darkness” set to drop on October 25, 2024, this Aussie powerhouse continues to prove they’re not just a flash in the pan. “Jerkin'” is a raw, unfiltered blast of energy that showcases everything we’ve come to love about Amyl and The Sniffers.

 

From the moment you hit play on the video, you’re transported into a world of chaotic punk fury. Frontwoman Amy Taylor, with her iconic mullet and undeniable stage presence, commands attention as she spits out lyrics with the ferocity of a caged animal. The band’s tight, no-frills instrumentation provides the perfect backdrop for Taylor’s vocal acrobatics, creating a sound that’s both nostalgically punk rock feeling and refreshingly current.

The video itself is a perfect visual representation of the band’s ethos – gritty, unapologetic, and bursting with attitude. Shot with a DIY aesthetic that harks back to punk’s golden era, it captures the raw energy of their live performances that have made them legends in the making.

Lyrically, “Jerkin'” pulls no punches. With lines like “Every time you talk you mumble, grumble / Need to wipe your mouth after you speak ’cause it’s an asshole,” Taylor continues her tradition of sharp, confrontational songwriting that’s both humorous and biting.

This track is yet another testament to Amyl and The Sniffers’ ability to channel the spirit of punk legends like Iggy Pop while carving out their own unique space in the modern rock landscape. It’s a reminder that rock and roll is alive and well, and it’s wearing a mullet and boots made of gaffa tape.

As the band gears up for their US headline tour in July and August 2024, followed by a UK and European tour in November, “Jerkin'” serves as a thrilling appetizer for what’s sure to be an explosive live experience.

So, whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the Amyl and The Sniffers experience, “Jerkin'” is your call to arms. It’s time to mosh, it’s time to sweat, and it’s time to remember why we fell in love with rock and roll in the first place. Don’t miss out on this latest chapter in the Amyl and The Sniffers saga – it’s bound to be a wild ride!
