Punk rockers Amyl and the Sniffers made their US TV debut in style last night with an electric performance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
“I really, really love this band and you’re in for a treat tonight,” Meyers said in his introduction, holding aloft a vinyl copy of Amyl’s recent album Comfort to Me.
The four-piece then ripped into a rousing performance of “Hertz”, one of that record’s highlights. Leading the way at the front was Amy Taylor, her usual energetic self, with Bryce Wilson, Fergus Romer, and Dec Martens keeping the track motoring along nicely around her.
Amyl are currently in the States for the US leg of their tour, with the band set to play Coachella 2.0 this weekend. Many of their remaining US dates are sold out, proving the appetite Stateside for Australian punk (see full dates below).
Comfort to Me was one of the best albums of 2021, which the band discussed at length with Rolling Stone last year. Their second studio album reached number two on the ARIA Albums Chart and was also a top 40 hit in the U.K. It received a nomination for Australian Album of the Year at last year’s J Awards.
An expanded edition of Comfort to Me is also on the way. The new double LP features both the original album and a live album recorded on “a dock outside of Melbourne”. It’s set for release on vinyl on May 13th and can be pre-ordered here.
