Amyl And The Sniffers post Got You with debut album set for release next month


album’s artwork

Amyl And The Sniffers have posted Got You with their self-titled debut album set for release on May 24th.

“Got You is about that feeling you get when you first start seeing someone and you’re excited to see them, no matter what sh*t they got,” they say. “You just see them at the pub and it feels like the most exciting thing in the world, like you’re so lucky they’re even there. It’s definitely one of the ‘sweetest’ songs on the album, and less punky. It was kind of inspired by Split Enz.”

“We worked with Melbourne director Triana Hernandez for the video and we decided to make it less like a love song and more cheeky.

“We wanted to play with the power dynamics a bit and turn ‘I got you’ into ‘I literally own you’, just to make it a bit more dark. It’s obviously not a healthy relationship but that kind of thing is easy to slip into, too.”

The band have also unveiled their maiden album’s artwork (pic at header) and tracklist, which is:

Starfire 500
Gacked On Anger
Cup Of Destiny
GFY
Angel
Monsoon Rock
Control
Got You
Punisha
Shake Ya
Some Mutts (Can’t Be Muzzled)

“This daft f***ing c**t was into drugs!” Watch Johnny Rotten and Marky Ramone nearly come to blows at punk rock panel Read

“I didn’t like the fucking music…It was boring.”

Johnny Rotten almost came to blows with Black Flag‘s Henry Rollins and Marky Ramone at a documentary screening earlier this week.

The Sex Pistols icon was in attendance at a screening of upcoming docuseries Punx – joined by Rollins, Ramone and other stars including Gun N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan.

But it wasn’t long before the contrasting personalities clashed, with Rotten, real name John Lydon, turning his razor-sharp tongue on Rollins.

“Henry, we ain’t never met before, have we?” Lydon told Rollins at a documentary panel. “You’ve said silly things but excellently good things, too.”

“And you called Black Flag a bunch of suburban rich kids and we wanted to tear your ears off,” Rollins said.

“Yes, I did, but I didn’t like the fucking music,” Lydon replied. “It was boring.”

And while Rollins claimed that the Sex Pistols weren’t too dissimilar from Black Flag, Lydon wasn’t a fan of the comparison.

“Don’t talk Black Flag, Pink Flag, White Flag,” he said.


Johnny Rotten loses it with Marky Ramone! *MUST SEE*

Later in the panel, Lydon was at loggerheads with Marky Ramone, after reminding him that he wasn’t an original member of the seminal New York punks.

“But I did the Blank Generation album with Richard Hell, and you took his image,” Ramone replied. “All you guys took Richard Hell’s image. That’s all you did.”

“And you’re still covering your fucking ears,” Lydon said.Volume 0% 

After Ramone claimed that Sid Vicious “was the star” of the pistols, Lydon replied: “He was the star for asshole fake idiots like you. Enjoy your drugs and fuckin’ have a happy death.”

Lydon added: ““Punk music for me was positive, proof positive, that we could change our lifes by music, meaning what we said, attack the political systems. This daft cunt is into fucking drugs.”

The heated panel discussion came only hours after Lydon paid tribute to Keith Flint as he arrived at the Punx screening. He claimed that Keith had been left “alone” and “unloved” after the mammoth success of the band in the 1990s.
