    Now there’s much more to them. Forget the sophomore slump, Comfort To Me is the sound of a band on the rise.

    The band are effectively building and complexifying their sound to keep things fresh. 'Comfort To Me' sounds like it could be played in a rowdy Australian pub the band are used to – or a colossal arena.

    Their rapid growth is as head-spinning as the songs themselves, lending a triumphant air to Comfort to Me that keeps Amyl and the Sniffers primed and ready to conquer the world -- again.

    Their newest body of work retains a fiery core, it also reveals a more pensive and reflective side to the band.

    There’s a track or two that don’t add much to the album’s direction, ‘Maggot’ being one of them. But on the whole, this feels like Amyl and the Sniffers finding their purpose. It’s something to behold.

    Comfort to Me transports us to a familiar, paradoxical world: uncertain, harsh, and magnetic.

    The Sniffers sometimes sound limited by their studiously low-brow, lo-fi aesthetic. Even so, Comfort To Me offers a mostly exhilarating mix of headbanging riffs, profane wit and gutter-punk attitude. [Oct 2021, p.24]

And Amyl and the Spitters have it in abundance. On the surface they're a solid punk act, but there's more going on, or rather seething, under the surface. I'm constantly surprised how simple the general song structures are, but with what depth they're performed. I haven't seen them live, but if the videos of live performances are to be believed, their energy is infectious.… Expand

    The first time I heard Amyl and the Sniffers it was just before the release of their first album. It had been a long while since I heardThe first time I heard Amyl and the Sniffers it was just before the release of their first album. It had been a long while since I heard something with such energy and soul. Amy is a memorizing front woman. She gives it all she has while the rest of band lays down the music for her to do what she does best.
    Amyl and the Sniffers falls somewhere between 70's punk and 80's small town beer drinkers, sporting mullets and jean jackets. The music is raw, but still catchy. The lyrics are simple, but poetic. Amy tells you what she wants, what she hates and what she thinks. If I was going to try to fully explain what's different about their sophomore album, the best way to explain is a small town rock band making music for themselves and their friends got to see the world, meet new people and have their minds opened to new possibilities. They still do what they do, but with a new perspective.    … Expand
