Reincarnated Creem Magazine’s favorite band. Seriously, the old-become-new rock n roll maggo can’t go an issue without name- or photo-checking the Melbourne punkers. And why the hell not? Amyl and the Sniffers are good fun that sound like they’ve been ripped from the pages of punk zines in the 70s, and the 90s, and fed through a beer & bar chord meat grinder at an Australian roadhouse near you. Our highlighted track “Jerkin’” sports four chord progressions for the pit, no bullshit lyrics, and the occasional guitar fill to keep the metalheads happy. Off Cartoon Darkness. Via Rough Trade Records.
