    Hell yeah! Amyl and the Sniffers bring an urgency and irreverence much needed as our world burns around us. One could hope this time around people will heed the ideas of the generation of punk rockers: Amyl and the Sniffers, Downtown Boys, The Idles, Parquet Courts.

    Though far from a perfect album, Amyl and the Sniffers self-titled debut bout is a fierce, aggressive, and loud introduction to a virtually unknown group of musicians. Lead singer Amy Taylor is the anchor, and for good reason, but it is the quietly stellar guitar work of Declan Mehrtens that most grabbed my attention.

    Everything here on their self-titled debut album remains pitched at pleasingly breakneck speed and, happily, the gigantic chant-alongs and whisky-sick hooks are here in abundance.

    It’s rock ’n’ roll for 2019, though the band calls it simply pub rock. Either way, it’ll get a mosh going.

    While these tunes might not have quite the caught-in-yer-brain stickiness of “I’m not a loser,” they’re longer lasting. Because the band is speeding so quickly, and rushing out combustible sounds, it takes more deep dives into the album to catch everything.
