Renowned for a ball-tearing live show, The Sniffers made their international debut as one of the hottest tipped acts at The Great Escape in 2018. Soon afterwards, they signed deals with both Rough Trade Records and ATO Records, made a massively hyped appearance at SXSW, and finally released their self-titled debut album in 2019, landing them an ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Award for Best Rock Album, capping off a wild year for the lunatic, likeable punks.
The band’s sophomore album, Comfort To Me, was released in 2021 – bringing further acclaim for the heavier and more powerful developments of their songwriting. Now classics “Security”, “Hertz” and “Guided By Angels” resonated with fans in a deeper way than ever before and the band embarked on further worldwide touring to support the release.
Amyl and The Sniffers’ 3rd album, Cartoon Darkness, has taken the band to another level. Receiving universal praise across the board, strong support from BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music and a growing fanbase. Key tracks of “U Should Not Be Doing That”, “Chewing Gum” have more of a swagger, whilst “Big Dreams” sees the band try their hand at a ballad – becoming a bonafide anthem.
The band supported the Foo Fighters on tour in the US as well as selling out their 2024 UK and EU tour dates. A world tour in 2025 beckons, as Amyl and The Sniffers grow from strength to strength.
