“Hey, this feels like an incredible Friday!” roars Taylor before diving into the electrifying highlight 'Doing In Me Head'—a wild anthem that witnesses pints flying and clothes swirling through the air. The high-energy hard rock surges as the band powers through a twenty-song setlist that exceeds their usual punk categorization: at times, guitarist Declan Mehrtens launches into thrash metal solos worthy of an Iron Maiden or Motörhead concert, all while keeping the band's trademark humor, playfully flipping off the audience with a smile. As she dashes around the stage, her iconic bleach-blonde curls bouncing to tracks like 'U Should Not Be Doing That', one can't help but think that future researchers might analyze Taylor’s electric energy for scientific insights. Even their slower track, ‘Big Dreams’—dedicated to “everyone having a tough time, and who isn't?”—delivers at a frenetic pace.
Beyond the sheer release that an Amyl and The Sniffers concert offers, they also, like all punk legends, use their platform to address the world's issues. The women's rights anthem 'Knifey' sends shivers down the spine, articulating the fears that women and non-binary individuals encounter simply by existing. Taylor passionately declares, “All I ever wanted was to walk by the river, see the stars / Please, stop messing me up." It's extraordinarily powerful. The reality is, everyone wants to be part of this raucous, party-starting crew. And as they share stages with icons like Angus Young and AC/DC, it’s almost certain they’ll teach rock 'n' roll's veteran figures a few fresh moves. More importantly, having often discussed public perceptions of herself, Taylor embodies the change she wishes to see for women. Looking around at tonight's predominantly female audience, it’s evident that the “young girls and non-binary individuals” she speaks to are well taken care of as long as Amyl continues to energize towns globally.
