If there’s one band poised to take over 2025 with unrelenting energy and raw punk spirit, it’s Amyl and The Sniffers.

Their self-titled debut album (2019) and its follow-up, Comfort to Me (2021), showcased their ability to blend breakneck riffs with anthemic, politically charged lyrics. Tracks like Hertz, Guided by Angels, and Security became instant classics, earning them a passionate global following.
