The band was formed by housemates Amy Taylor, Bryce Wilson, Declan Mehrtens, and Calum Newton in Balaclava, Melbourne. The four wrote, recorded, and released their first EP, Giddy Up, in a span of 12 hours. [3] Newton left the band to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Gus Romer in early 2017. [4]

The band takes its name from the Australian slang for amyl nitrite, also known as poppers. [5] Taylor compared their music to the drug in an interview with Paul Glynn of the BBC: "In Australia we call poppers Amyl. So you sniff it, it lasts for 30 seconds and then you have a headache – and that's what we're like!" [5] Their sound has been compared to 1970s punk rock groups such as Iggy Pop and The Stooges and The Damned. [3] However, Taylor has cited a number of varying influences including Minor Threat, Ceremony, AC/DC, Sleaford Mods, Dolly Parton and Cardi B. [5] A second EP Big Attraction was released in 2017.

2018–present: Amyl and the Sniffers, Comfort to Me, and Cartoon Darkness

In 2018, the band went into the studio to record their debut album with producer and former Add N to (X) drummer Ross Orton. [6] The result was the self-titled Amyl and the Sniffers, released on 24 May 2019. It received generally positive reviews, including a 7.2 from Pitchfork [3] and 4 out of 5 stars from NME [7] and AllMusic . [8] In light of the album's release, Happy Mag placed the band at No. 9 on their list of "The 15 Australian female artists changing the game right now", praising Taylor for being "one of hardest rocking people on the face of the planet." [9] The 2018 single "Some Mutts" was used in Warwick Thornton's 2021/2 vampire TV series, Firebite . [10]

On 7 July 2021, Amyl and the Sniffers announced their second studio album Comfort to Me, alongside lead single "Guided by Angels". [15] Later in July, the band released another single, "Security". Three days prior to the release of the album the band released a final single, "Hertz", alongside a complementary music video. [16] The full Comfort to Me album was initially scheduled for release in early October 2021, [17] but was pushed up and released on 10 September. [18] The album was recorded at Sound Park, in Melbourne. [19]

In June and July 2022, the band opened for Weezer, Fall Out Boy, and Green Day on the European leg of the Hella Mega Tour. [20] In April 2023, the band toured with The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane's Addiction. [21]

In March 2024, Amyl and the Sniffers announced a US headline tour set for July and August of 2024, in addition to their US shows as support for Foo Fighters. [22] In May 2024, the band released the two singles "U Should Not Be Doing That", the first single from their upcoming album, and "Facts", [23] after which they announced a UK and European Headline tour set for November 2024. [24] On 21 August 2024, the group announced that their third album, Cartoon Darkness , would be released on 25 October 2024. The single and music video for "Chewing Gum" was released on the same day. [25] "Big Dreams", the album's third single, was released on 25 September 2024. On 21 October 2024, the group released the album's fourth single, "Jerkin'". The music video was released through the band's website due to graphic full frontal nudity throughout the video. A censored version was released on YouTube. [26]
