Speaker 4: Hello and welcome to Midnight Chats, a podcast of casual
Speaker 4: interviews with leading musicians, published weekly at midnight to suit
Speaker 4: these informal and often under researched conversations. This week's episode
Speaker 4: is hosted by me Stuart Stubbs, editor of Loud and
Speaker 4: Quiet magazine. Joining me on tonight's episode of the podcast
Speaker 4: is Amy Taylor, singer and front woman of Australian punk
Speaker 4: band Ammel and the Sniffers. Amy formed the band back
Speaker 4: in twenty sixteen with her then housemates who really just
Speaker 4: wanted something to do. They formed a band to play
Speaker 4: shows for their friends in gardens and houses and didn't
Speaker 4: really expect it to go any further than that. But
Speaker 4: once they put out a couple of EPs together, they
Speaker 4: got signed to Rough Trade here in the UK, who
Speaker 4: released the band's debut album a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: That one was simply called Amel and the Sniffers, and
Speaker 4: in September of this year they will be releasing that
Speaker 4: the follow up record, it's called Comfort to Me. It
Speaker 4: was recorded throughout lockdown in Melbourne, and it was Melbourne
Speaker 4: where Amy spoke to me from just yesterday. She was
Speaker 4: in Melbourne, I was here in sticky, sweaty London and
Speaker 4: we spoke a bit about comfort to me. We spoke
Speaker 4: about her love for rap music and bugs, all sorts
Speaker 4: of things as well. There are some links below, as
Speaker 4: per usual Zoo click on those it will make sense
Speaker 4: of some more of this. If you are not familiar
Speaker 4: with Amy and her work, they're a great band. They
Speaker 4: have some shows that will hopefully happen later this year
Speaker 4: here in the UK that currently set for November and
Speaker 4: hopefully will happen COVID pandemic permitting. This is also the
Speaker 4: last episode in this series of midnight Chats. We will
Speaker 4: be back a little bit later in the year, but
Speaker 4: for now we are done. Thank you for listening over
Speaker 4: the last nine weeks. If you're new to us and
Speaker 4: you're finding us now for the first time, there's one
Speaker 4: hundred and twelve previous episodes for you to dive into.

Speaker 4: a line. We are on social media channels as Loud

Speaker 4: Thank you to Amy for this episode. Thanks for downloading
Speaker 4: and listening to you. I should say just before we start,
Speaker 4: there's some pretty appalling language here, so fair warning. If
Speaker 4: that is not for you, now is the time to
Speaker 4: turn back. If it is, then onward. This is Amy
Speaker 4: Taylor on episode one hundred and thirteen of Midnight Chats.
Speaker 5: Bes beIN pretty chill. We're back in lockdown now.
Speaker 3: Side pretty much just fucked you around at home and
Speaker 3: then went for a couple of walks and a little run.
Speaker 3: And that's pretty much the extent of it.
Speaker 4: You do you guys also live in a house together, right,
Speaker 4: the whole band lives together?
Speaker 5: We did, but we don't anymore. That's all gone.
Speaker 3: That's all that's to the house got demolished, so we
Speaker 3: all had to scurry away.
Speaker 4: The house got demolished. Wow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a pretty old house.
Speaker 3: So we moved in knowing the terms that it had
Speaker 3: to get knocked down at some point and.
Speaker 5: Then off it went.
Speaker 4: Right, So when did so? When did you did you?
Speaker 4: Were you living together through this whole lockdown period or
Speaker 4: did it? Did you move out before that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were living together during the whole thing, but
Speaker 3: I moved out a bit earlier because I was living
Speaker 3: it was like a three bedroom house with a shed
Speaker 3: out the back right, and so we were taking terms
Speaker 3: of doing the shed and then so the guitarist was
Speaker 3: in the shed and then I swat with him and
Speaker 3: it was during winter and like lockdown, and there was
Speaker 3: all these like fucked up bugs and stuff in there.
Speaker 5: So I was like, I think I'm just going to
Speaker 5: try and find somewhere else.
Speaker 4: Shit, Okay, what kind of bugs or what kind of
Speaker 4: bugs are we talking? Is Melbourne? It's Melbourne bad for bugs.
Speaker 4: I've been to Melbourne's the only place in Australia I've
Speaker 4: been to actually, and I didn't come across any bad bugs.
Speaker 4: But I was there summer time. Is this a winter bugs?
Speaker 3: Don't bother me too much, but I think it's pretty
Speaker 3: good for bugs. Like you never see spiders here really,
Speaker 3: oh a couple of little ones, and you don't really
Speaker 3: see that many bugs either. Now thinking about it, cockroaches
Speaker 3: there everywhere, but not in the place I'm at. Now.
Speaker 4: I like the idea that you what, what Australians consider
Speaker 4: a small bug us weedy Brits would consider absolutely huge
Speaker 4: and terrifying because we're we're just like we're not equipped
Speaker 4: to deal with well anything really, but especially like the
Speaker 4: bugs of Australia. That are the kind of things that, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's scares some people off from going there, which is
Speaker 4: a shame. But so you were in the so I
Speaker 4: get okay, right, I get it. So sometimes your bedroom
Speaker 4: was a shed, so you were like, I need to
Speaker 4: get I need to get out of here.
Speaker 6: Really, yeah, that.
Speaker 3: Was like albino cockroachs has fallen from the roof. And
Speaker 3: then a couple of months after I moved out, I
Speaker 3: do called what they were and apparently when cockroaches live
Speaker 3: long enough, they shed their skin and turn albino and
Speaker 3: they have no shell and they go and live in
Speaker 3: a place which is like in like not habitable for
Speaker 3: humans because then they don't get danger.
Speaker 4: Right, So you were living in a place that wasn't
Speaker 4: even considered habitable for humans, which is why there were
Speaker 4: albino cockroaches there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the cockroaches standard, I should not have been
Speaker 3: sleep in there.
Speaker 4: Well, judging by the scene behind you, looks like you're
Speaker 4: in a really nice place now, so that's great.
Speaker 3: Fucking lovely. Yeah, yeah, but I'm moving out soon. I
Speaker 3: was just actually googling real estate dot com. But living
Speaker 3: in here for now.
Speaker 4: Nice if I understand this's right, You guys, when you
Speaker 4: came off to it, you'd like toured solidly for like
Speaker 4: a year or two, and then you moved back into
Speaker 4: your house together and then lockdown here and you were
Speaker 4: kind of stuck together in the house. I mean, that
Speaker 4: must have been. That must have been intense anyway, because
Speaker 4: once I imagine when you're in a band, you're on the
Speaker 4: road all the time, you're living in each other's pockets
Speaker 4: in a van, and then you're going, like it's quite
Speaker 4: extreme to go back and live with the band as well,
Speaker 4: like you've got no time a part. How was it
Speaker 4: an intense intense period? You obviously get on very well.
Speaker 5: We get on really well.
Speaker 3: But I think it was intense only because we had
Speaker 3: no outside influence, Like it was just us four. We
Speaker 3: literally had no more sentences to string together between each other.
Speaker 5: Like it'd be like it was just like sharing a
Speaker 5: room with a bunch.
Speaker 3: Of furniture, like nothing to say, you know, when there's
Speaker 3: like four different colors of play though, yeah, and you
Speaker 3: mush it together and it becomes brown.
Speaker 6: It was that That's what happened to us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can imagine. Yet there's only so much to say.
Speaker 4: So this is probably good for the band that have
Speaker 4: you all moved apart or the boys still together?
Speaker 5: No, yeah, we've all moved apart.
Speaker 3: I think it's been really good for us because we're
Speaker 3: becoming fully grown humans. Yeah, like we're just like each
Speaker 3: other's only everything. So it's nice now because you can
Speaker 3: actually catch up and be like, what have you been doing,
Speaker 3: what are you been listening to?
Speaker 5: What have you been watching?
Speaker 3: But when you live together, you've all watched, seen, and heard.
Speaker 3: All your senses only saw the same thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know exactly what they've been up to because
Speaker 4: you're living in the shed and they're indoors and you
Speaker 4: know that's what they've been doing. You guys were living
Speaker 4: together before the band, right you you shared a house
Speaker 4: before you and you formed a band from being housemates.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, but we had a different bass player then,
Speaker 3: so when we formed, we were living together.
Speaker 5: But then we like all moved away for like three
Speaker 5: years or whatever.
Speaker 4: How did that happen? Because am I right? This is
Speaker 4: your first band?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah? It is pretty much?
Speaker 4: Yeah, had you wanted to be in a band before this?
Speaker 4: And it hadn't happened or was this a pure accident
Speaker 4: of like just hanging out with your friends who are
Speaker 4: your housemates and they played music, so you just got
Speaker 4: involved a bit of both.
Speaker 3: Really like, I really wanted to be in a band
Speaker 3: and stuff, and I always wanted to do something, but
Speaker 3: I like couldn't play instruments, but I'd get drunk and
Speaker 3: stuff and then just like wrap or grab them microphone
Speaker 3: at a gig and just like sing a song or whatever.
Speaker 3: But then at the same time, I was like, I
Speaker 3: want to do this, It'll be fun. And then yeah,
Speaker 3: the boys all played and so I was just kind
Speaker 3: of a coincidence at the same time.
Speaker 5: Really like, it wasn't.
Speaker 3: Like I didn't hold a gun to their head and
Speaker 3: it was like make me a band, bitch. It was
Speaker 3: just more like, Oh, let's all have start a house
Speaker 3: band so we can play at house parties and stuff.
Speaker 3: Because a bunch of the people we hung around did
Speaker 3: like backyard shows and stuff like that, so we were like, oh,
Speaker 3: we want to do that too.
Speaker 4: Melbourne's got a bit of a scene for that, right,
Speaker 4: the kind of backyard show scene.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was, and they did, but I don't know
Speaker 3: what the hell is going to happen after all this stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. How many How's Melbourne been
Speaker 4: doing generally through the thing?
Speaker 5: Ah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had like we had one of the most
Speaker 3: strictest lockdowns in the world.
Speaker 5: I believe like we had eight PM care few were
Speaker 5: in it.
Speaker 3: For months and months and months, and I think Melbourne
Speaker 3: got pretty fucked up by it.
Speaker 6: I reckon, it's safe to say, how did you cope
Speaker 6: with it?
Speaker 4: How we how have you done?
Speaker 3: You?
Speaker 4: Are you okay? Are feeling all right?
Speaker 5: No? It really fucked me up. I was shouted.
Speaker 3: I was like shadowed last year and it still makes
Speaker 3: me shout when we got to lockdown and staff because
Speaker 3: I just want to actually like experience life. I can
Speaker 3: definitely stay positive, but last year really fucking cooked me. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've exited lockdown today.
Speaker 6: Today's free to congratulated.
Speaker 4: Freedom done.
Speaker 3: But you feel weird about it, right because it's not.
Speaker 3: The numbers are pretty high ut.
Speaker 4: Till someone was saying, yeah, yeah, it's a terrible idea.
Speaker 4: We've basic a government of basically kind of fucked the
Speaker 4: situation from the beginning. But right now I think they've
Speaker 4: just got bored and they've just gone right, let's just
Speaker 4: see what happens. But it's kind of weird because it
Speaker 4: feels like today, I think the world is watching the
Speaker 4: UK from now to see what this is, what happens
Speaker 4: when a country decides to just make a run for it,
Speaker 4: And I hope, you know, I hope we I hope
Speaker 4: we do well. I hope it's I've got a horrible
Speaker 4: feeling we're going to be back to square one within
Speaker 4: four to six weeks. But we'll see. But for now,
Speaker 4: there's a weird there's a weird vibe today as a
Speaker 4: weird vibe out yesterday. It's really hot here as well
Speaker 4: at the moment it's for us, it's very hot. So yeah,
Speaker 4: it's just a strange feeling in the air.
Speaker 3: But hope it's been pretty exciting. It'd be an exciting
Speaker 3: feeling in a weird way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it kind of is. Give it a go, Yeah exactly,
Speaker 4: We'll give it a go and see what happens. Because
Speaker 4: you started the band to like just play in like
Speaker 4: backyards and friends parties and stuff like that, I read
Speaker 4: that you didn't really expect to ever be playing like
Speaker 4: proper shows proper quote unquote, you know, big shows and stuff.
Speaker 3: We just didn't really think that far ahead, like we're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: it'll be fun to play or whatever. Let's just start
Speaker 3: and see what happens, and just yeah, everything that kind
Speaker 3: of happens is always a surprise in a way. Like
Speaker 3: not to disrespect how hard we work, because it really
Speaker 3: do work hard, but definitely, like even at the start
Speaker 3: would get played on like one radio station and would
Speaker 3: be like, oh my god, like we're on a radio station.
Speaker 6: And yeah.
Speaker 3: I remember we got booked for like our first show,
Speaker 3: and we had an what to do and like how
Speaker 3: to play and stuff like that, and we played it
Speaker 3: for ten minutes and the guy at the bar I remember,
Speaker 3: hill was like, is that all you're playing for? Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like normally people play for half an hour.
Speaker 6: Well, we don't have that.
Speaker 5: We've only got four songs.
Speaker 4: I love that. I like it when bands. I like
Speaker 4: it when you see punk bands who are clearly using
Speaker 4: that they're playing gigs instead of rehearsing almost you know,
Speaker 4: like to that extent, And I think it's great.
Speaker 5: I was asked for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like you go and see a show and as
Speaker 4: you say, they play like four songs ten minutes, it's done.
Speaker 4: I'm personally a big fan of a short show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that too. I don't want to hear
Speaker 3: too much or say too much. I want like new
Speaker 3: stuff every half hour.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, your back starts to wake, your legs
Speaker 4: start to go, like I've seen. Have you been to
Speaker 4: any shows like big shows where it's normally big heritage bands,
Speaker 4: isn't it? I guess where they've got loads of songs
Speaker 4: to churn through. But have you ever been to one
Speaker 4: way it's just gone on forever?
Speaker 5: Yes and no.
Speaker 3: I'd probably liked saying a band that played for an
Speaker 3: hour and I remember thinking like, come.
Speaker 4: On, come on, wrap it up. I saw The Cure
Speaker 4: Notoriously play for a really long time. I think I
Speaker 4: saw them play for maybe three and a half hours. Whoa,
Speaker 4: I know, steep roight crazy, I know. But it was
Speaker 4: at the Royal albert Hall. This was what was good
Speaker 4: about it was that the Royal Alberhor so everyone had
Speaker 4: a seat. I had a really good seat, a great view,
Speaker 4: and there was no one sat next to me, so
Speaker 4: I actually quite enjoyed it. But at the end of it,
Speaker 4: I felt like I'd been on like a long haul flight.
Speaker 4: I felt like everyone had kicked that shoes off. People
Speaker 4: were just wandering around.
Speaker 3: Well, that's a really long time, Like even long movies
Speaker 3: don't go.
Speaker 5: For that long.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, right it was. It was intense.
Speaker 4: I think that's the only one where I've it's been
Speaker 4: really long and I've gone Actually I'm okay with this
Speaker 4: because of the surroundings. But I'm with you, Like I
Speaker 4: just think, once you get to forty five minutes max,
Speaker 4: are you do? You guys do?
Speaker 3: On course, yeah we do if they want them usually
Speaker 3: we do as well. Like our sets usually on the
Speaker 3: go for forty five to fifty five minutes because it's
Speaker 3: just a different setup. With punk bands, I think, like
Speaker 3: there's so much energy going out. It's like we're not
Speaker 3: going to play for.
Speaker 5: Longer than an hour ten minutes, but we'll do an
Speaker 5: encore feotball ask. I like doing them. It's exciting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like an encore. I know some people are
Speaker 4: dead against them. The Strokes are like a very anti
Speaker 4: on care I think I think the Manics maybe are,
Speaker 4: But I like that theater of it. I mean, I know,
Speaker 4: obviously of course the band are coming back on no
Speaker 4: one's that they've left.
Speaker 3: But lottimes we don't like our bass player Gusts. He's
Speaker 3: like no on calls most of the time. But I
Speaker 3: just like doing them because people are like, you know,
Speaker 3: yelling and it's all exciting and you're like, ah, people
Speaker 3: want to see it.
Speaker 5: Let's get so.
Speaker 4: Now. What's what I think is amazing about Amona Sniffers
Speaker 4: is you started in that way and you're now you're
Speaker 4: about to support food Fighters in a huge football stadium.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 4: When is that show is that?
Speaker 3: I think it's next twenty twenty two. I don't know when,
Speaker 3: maybe June or something.
Speaker 4: It's in like Madrid, right, it's like a European yeah,
Speaker 4: with I.
Speaker 5: Think Noel Gallagher or something Lam Gallagher.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you Liam and food Fighters.
Speaker 6: How just me and the boys? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Have you thought much about like what that show is
Speaker 4: going to be like? Because obviously you guys are like
Speaker 4: so suited to a small venue, sweaty venue where you
Speaker 4: can especially where you can jump in the crowd, you know,
Speaker 4: and you can have that interaction, and this is going
Speaker 4: to be something totally different for you, Like, have you
Speaker 4: thought much about it yet or is it too far away?
Speaker 3: Well, we've actually finally enough actually supported the food Fighters
Speaker 3: before in Adelaide in Australia, right, and that was really
Speaker 3: early on I.
Speaker 6: Think was the stadium, Yeah, in a stadium.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty funny, like we were just really
Speaker 3: it was really fucking.
Speaker 5: Hot that day, like boiling hot.
Speaker 3: And then Gus the bass player, just turned bright red
Speaker 3: because it was so boiling and the stadium was pretty
Speaker 3: much empty. Bike was still had a good time, went
Speaker 3: pretty open to everything as well, Like even though we'll
Speaker 3: just say yes to my ship just to try it
Speaker 3: out of you know, experience, I think I'll see what happens,
Speaker 3: and you know, I wouldn't like store. Actually, like we're
Speaker 3: not like few are or anythink in any capacity. We're
Speaker 3: just rolling with it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've got you've got to take those moments. I
Speaker 4: remember when Sleep of Modds, who I know you're a
Speaker 4: fan of and have collaborated with, they supported the Stone
Speaker 4: Roses here in like in Wembley Stadium, like our biggest stadium,
Speaker 4: and I remember thinking just how cool it was. Because
Speaker 4: what I also love about Sleep and Modds is how
Speaker 4: they Jason and Andrew have this rule where they are
Speaker 4: determined to not change anything about the way they do it.
Speaker 4: They'll happily do it in the biggest stadium or in
Speaker 4: a small pub, but it's still going to be the
Speaker 4: two of them. They don't like having a backdrop with
Speaker 4: their name on it. They've got these certain things that
Speaker 4: they're like, we're not doing those things, but we're still
Speaker 4: play apps. And I loved the idea of them pushing
Speaker 4: what they do exactly as they do it as far
Speaker 4: as it possibly can go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's so dad. Boundaries are sick like that as well.
Speaker 5: It kind of just it reminds everyone.
Speaker 3: That it's just music, like a music like you should
Speaker 3: just as long as.
Speaker 5: You can listen to it. It doesn't really matter. It
Speaker 5: shouldn't matter. It puts the pressure back on the music
Speaker 5: to be good and enjoyable and entertaining in itself, really,
Speaker 5: which is sick.
Speaker 4: So how did that? How did that first Food Fighters
Speaker 4: show go? Was it weird? Was it weird?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: It was weird ass. Yeah, it was really weird. We
Speaker 5: had no idea what was going on. It was pretty
Speaker 5: fun though, Like it was fucking weird ass.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I can't even remember or explain it, but
Speaker 3: I remember there was this like boxer there called Danny Green,
Speaker 3: and he pointed to me and declan and like kind
Speaker 3: of pointed at his ears and then gave a dumb
Speaker 3: up and I was like, oh, that's cool. Danny Green
Speaker 3: the Box. I liked our set. And then later he
Speaker 3: came up and talked to us and it's like, oh, guys,
Speaker 3: what are you doing here today? Like, I really like
Speaker 3: your mullets. But we thought he I had no idea
Speaker 3: who we were, and he didn't say his play, but
Speaker 3: he just liked a haircut.
Speaker 4: That's what he was pointing out. He was pointing at
Speaker 4: your hair.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I was sweet.
Speaker 4: You've been doing a lot of exercise over lockdown right?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I love working out. It's my favorite thing.
Speaker 4: Ever, what exercise were you doing? What was your thing?
Speaker 3: I just go for runs. I do pilates on YouTube.
Speaker 3: It's all on YouTube. If boxing lessons on YouTube. I
Speaker 3: do like high intensity kind of workouts like half hour
Speaker 3: ones or whatever.
Speaker 5: On YouTube. There's this chiccoll mad Fit.
Speaker 3: But I changed my YouTube lady every day or I
Speaker 3: don't have a lot. I'm not loyal to anyone on YouTube.
Speaker 3: But I like it because it's free and you can
Speaker 3: just do it from home.
Speaker 4: It's brilliant, isn't it. You can do absolutely anything on YouTube.
Speaker 4: I use YouTube for absolutely everything. I need to know
Speaker 4: how to put what kind of stuff, anything, just anything.
Speaker 5: What was the last thing you learned from it?
Speaker 4: Yesterday? I learned how to dispose of some paint. How
Speaker 4: do you well, you have to break it down with
Speaker 4: some you have to This is what I learned. Anyway,
Speaker 4: I didn't cross check it. I just went with the
Speaker 4: first one. You know, I do that as well. I
Speaker 4: just you know, number one, top top hit. I'll just
Speaker 4: whatever they've said, it could be totally wrong. I managed
Speaker 4: to scrape most of it into a bin, wrap it up,
Speaker 4: and then I had to break the rest down with
Speaker 4: white spirit, so I didn't block the drain. But it's great,
Speaker 4: you know, I now know that skill.
Speaker 5: Good YouTube for that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's brilliant, isn't it. It's so good.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So you were doing some like high intensity stuff. That
Speaker 4: stuff is brutal. I respect you for two in that.
Speaker 3: I just like being healthy and I like feeling strong
Speaker 3: and stuff, and I like I got hips to energy
Speaker 3: as probably you know.
Speaker 5: But I just I just need to do stuff like that.
Speaker 5: I go crazy.
Speaker 3: And if you think about like the live show, that's
Speaker 3: pretty much just like forty minutes a high into Do
Speaker 3: you work out anyway?
Speaker 4: I guess without playing the shows, has the exercise replaced
Speaker 4: that daily workout.
Speaker 6: Right pretty much?
Speaker 5: Probably not daily, but maybe like four days a week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it must makes.
Speaker 3: You feel good in the brain as well, like I
Speaker 3: like feeling it clears my mind and makes you feel
Speaker 3: strong and stuff.
Speaker 4: Sure it must have been mad, because you it must
Speaker 4: have been mad for you to go from that tour
Speaker 4: cycle and for it to be to be playing and
Speaker 4: to be on the road to suddenly be back home,
Speaker 4: right and to not have that adrenaline hit each night
Speaker 4: or every other night or whatever it is. That must
Speaker 4: have been like a headspin a little bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we definitely have.
Speaker 3: To readjust to lifestyles and stuff like that and like
Speaker 3: settle in a little bit and yeah, kind of become
Speaker 3: normal normal a humans.
Speaker 4: Are you someone who is good at just sitting still
Speaker 4: and relaxing and doing nothing?
Speaker 5: Absolutely not. I've never been good at it, not even
Speaker 5: when I was a kid.
Speaker 3: I would just wanted to be doing stuff constantly and
Speaker 3: hate sitting still and hate doing that think and really
Speaker 3: love and value like being productive in any way and
Speaker 3: like pushing myself and not being in a comfort zone
Speaker 3: in any kind of way. So that's something I learned
Speaker 3: last year though. But I'll tell you what, though, I've
Speaker 3: gotten into books. Like I never was like much of
Speaker 3: a reader until last year, but now I'm just obsessed
Speaker 3: with reading books. Like I've kind of found that relaxation
Speaker 3: and stimulation with books, which is great.
Speaker 4: That's great. What have you read over the last year
Speaker 4: that's stood out well?
Speaker 3: The book that got me into reading pretty much was
Speaker 3: this book called Sapiens, which I think a lot of.
Speaker 5: People who read have read it.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's like unique or anything, but that
Speaker 3: was really great. It was kind of like the Breef's
Speaker 3: History of humans. It talks about how we've evolved to
Speaker 3: a certain degree and like how we've got this place,
Speaker 3: and like what the importance of gossip and like just
Speaker 3: like a bunch of stuff. I found it really interesting
Speaker 3: and cool and kind of like a bit philosophical, which
Speaker 3: I'm interested in. And I read a book of Dolly
Speaker 3: Parton transcripts interviews from the start of her career until
Speaker 3: like the early two thousands, which was cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't know, I've read hates of books. I
Speaker 5: think i've read like twenty this year already or something great.
Speaker 4: So you've mainly been reading nonfiction stuff or have you
Speaker 4: also read novels?
Speaker 5: Nonfiction is the laws? Or is that the truth?
Speaker 4: Nonfiction is the truth?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Mainly just the non fiction then. Yeah, I like all
Speaker 5: that stuff.
Speaker 4: I pat that Dolly Parton books good because she has
Speaker 4: always given some Historically, she's given some great interviews.
Speaker 5: Oh they're awesome. Yeah, they're really great.
Speaker 4: Have you listened to the Dolly Parton podcast?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I have?
Speaker 4: Yeah, the one about the whole history of It.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I'm a really big fan of Dolly. I think she's great.
Speaker 3: But it was pretty funny in this book she talks
Speaker 3: about how she grabbed for or whatever and her of
Speaker 3: wnd's usta in winter share a bed and they would
Speaker 3: all pissed the bed to keep warm.
Speaker 4: Jesus Christ. That's extreme, isn't it. That's mad? Did she
Speaker 4: because she did? She come from a really big family.
Speaker 5: I think she had eleven siblings.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jesus Christ, have you got Have you got any
Speaker 4: siblings yourself?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I've got an older sister.
Speaker 4: Okay, what I grew up like?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 3: I grew up on a property in northern New South
Speaker 3: Wales in Australia or whatever. And we when I grew up,
Speaker 3: we lived in a shed and me and my sister,
Speaker 3: my mom and my dad or she had one bedroom
Speaker 3: and we just like had like the we just separated
Speaker 3: the rooms quote unquote with like a curtain like like
Speaker 3: an old blanket, pint of the wall. Okay, so there's
Speaker 3: like a couple of parallels. I guess where it's like
Speaker 3: I can be like, yes, Dolly, I didn't I pissed
Speaker 3: the bed, but.
Speaker 6: Not to keep warm me too.
Speaker 4: We've all been there.
Speaker 5: I have been there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean imagine having like imagine having ten siblings,
Speaker 4: like being one of eleven.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I can't imagine.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: That's why that's why she's I reckon so good at
Speaker 3: like human interactions and like understanding people, because she's constantly
Speaker 3: around other people, and like she would just know so
Speaker 3: many different personality types and different ways of seeing the world.
Speaker 5: I think it would probably help with like understanding.
Speaker 4: Yeah, people, I think, so are you? Are you close
Speaker 4: with your sister?
Speaker 5: I think we've gotten closer over the last year.
Speaker 4: But yeah, what does what does she into? Music?
Speaker 5: A little bit?
Speaker 3: She's actually gotten a banjo recently, but she's only probably
Speaker 3: been to one of my gigs or something, I think, right, So.
Speaker 4: I mean a banjo that's quite Dolly Parton vibe. Yeah, days,
Speaker 4: did you get into the music of Dolly pante when
Speaker 4: you were younger, when you were a kid.
Speaker 3: I think I got into Dolly Parton just through her personality.
Speaker 3: I was like, Wow, she's great, such an inspray and
Speaker 3: such a joy, and then I got into a music
Speaker 3: kind of backwards, right.
Speaker 4: I feel quite proud because the jet I've had one
Speaker 4: vaccination so far. We're doing I don't know what you
Speaker 4: guys are doing over there, but we're doing two vaccinations each,
Speaker 4: and I've had the moderna one, which I've been told
Speaker 4: has been is the one that Dolly Partner has funded.
Speaker 5: Ah, that's awesome. So I feel you don't have that
Speaker 5: one down here?
Speaker 4: Do you know you're not getting the Dolly one? That's no.
Speaker 4: I feel no one else I know seems to have
Speaker 4: had it. They all seem to have had these other ones.
Speaker 4: But that's the one I'm that's kind of my bragging
Speaker 4: rights at the moment that I'm getting the part of
Speaker 4: I don't know why it makes any difference to me.
Speaker 4: But I think it's quite cool.
Speaker 5: I think so.

Speaker 4: We should talk a bit about the new album because
Speaker 4: it's brilliant. It's called comfort to Me? Is that is
Speaker 4: that a reference to Lockdown?
Speaker 5: Yes or no?
Speaker 3: But in one of the songs on the album, it's
Speaker 3: called Capital and the entry lyrics are comfort to me?
Speaker 5: What does that even mean? What reasons do I persevere
Speaker 5: existing for the sake of existing?
Speaker 3: Meaning disappears? So it's kind of just it's kind of
Speaker 3: like a play on that, and but it's just like
Speaker 3: what does it even mean comfort to me?
Speaker 5: Like what is that?
Speaker 3: And it also is kind of referring that like comfort
Speaker 3: to me is like playing a gig and like being sweaty,
Speaker 3: and like being around hips people at a live show
Speaker 3: and like angry loud music or like you know, blaring
Speaker 3: some weird drum and bass in my car, like speeding
Speaker 3: really fast, Like all that to me is comfortable. And
Speaker 3: like I guess it's kind of saying, like this style
Speaker 3: of music is comfort to me, and it's not traditional,
Speaker 3: but lots of people would agree with that, and lots
Speaker 3: of people would relate to that. And it's also just
Speaker 3: because like over the last since my like started this band,
Speaker 3: it's like I've had no sense of kind of stability,
Speaker 3: just being like on tour and like not having a
Speaker 3: proper house on my own and stuff like a place
Speaker 3: to rent, just like fully just running around the world
Speaker 3: and stuff. And then last year just getting my own
Speaker 3: room and like relaxing a little bit and like having
Speaker 3: someone cook meals for me when I was shattered and
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, this is do too. Like I
Speaker 3: started to appreciate like softer stuff like blankets and like
Speaker 3: cups of tea and like watching movies and books and like, yeah,
Speaker 3: having a nice meal with someone and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: It kind of feels extra ferocious compared to your last record.
Speaker 4: It feels fierce sick. Was that intentional?
Speaker 6: Is that?
Speaker 4: Was that just due to your headspace or.
Speaker 5: Definitely not intentional? I would think it's safe to say
Speaker 5: nine to nine percent of the stuff Amilns Sniffer's do
Speaker 5: it's not intentional. But I think it was just probably
Speaker 5: my head space.
Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, I feel like maybe in the
Speaker 3: past this is me just live streaming my thoughts, but
Speaker 3: it was more kind of like braddy snotty nose and powerful.
Speaker 3: But now I feel like it's maybe more like sharp, fierce,
Speaker 3: clear and powerful. I think just that's what I maybe
Speaker 3: feel right now.
Speaker 4: I love the track Hurts and Macat. They are my
Speaker 4: two favorites. Thank you that like Hurts is like really melodic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really like Maggot as well, and I really
Speaker 3: liked that one. I really tried to write nice lyrics
Speaker 3: because it's about someone specific kind of thing, and I
Speaker 3: was like, I really want to write nice lyrics about them,
Speaker 3: and like really tried to like do injustice and stuff
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 5: And then I was like really happy.
Speaker 3: With that because it's just straight how I feel kind
Speaker 3: of thing and it said what I wanted to say.
Speaker 5: And then I also like, don't fence me in.
Speaker 3: I like that one a lot because it's just kind
Speaker 3: of like, fuck, everyone, don't tell me what to do
Speaker 3: that make me small.
Speaker 5: I want to be big. I want to enjoy life.
Speaker 3: I want to enjoy HAPs of different things, So don't
Speaker 3: ever wrap me up and slow me down. And I
Speaker 3: also like, don't need to count because I think it's
Speaker 3: funny and I think it's fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great title. Is the person that you
Speaker 4: wrote magat about?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 6: Yes, what did he make of the track?
Speaker 3: I think he's pretty I don't buy it, I think
Speaker 3: at first, and I think he's flattered by it.
Speaker 5: He's kind of like, this is pretty dope.
Speaker 4: I would absolutely love for someone to write a song
Speaker 4: about me. I mean, unless it was a disc track
Speaker 4: or an awful thing, but yeah, something like that. Like,
Speaker 4: what a cool song to have written about you as well,
Speaker 4: because it's like, it's really nice, but it's also really
Speaker 4: fierce as well. It's not like it's not Lady in Red,
Speaker 4: you know, it's still it's pretty close. It's pretty close,
Speaker 4: the closest you're going to get. Do you think would
Speaker 4: you ever write a ballad? Do you think you could
Speaker 4: write a Lady in Red?
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I love meat Life Paradised by
Speaker 3: the Dashboard Life. Yeah, that one's awesome.
Speaker 5: If that's a ballad, I would love to write a ballad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I love a bit of I love a
Speaker 4: bit of meat loaf. It's so no one really makes
Speaker 4: music like that anymore, do they?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 4: That was very much as time even then. I don't
Speaker 4: think anyone would making make Bonnie Tyler baby.
Speaker 5: But is there anyone making music like that now? I
Speaker 5: don't know. No.
Speaker 4: And this whole thing, and his whole the way he
Speaker 4: dressed and the way he looked and just everything about him.
Speaker 4: It was so kind of absurd but just brilliant and
Speaker 4: so sad. Yeah, it's a bit like that. I mean
Speaker 4: that's another thing, like that's so great about Dolly, isn't it.
Speaker 4: She's such a iconic figure. Everything about her a look,
Speaker 4: a music, yeah, incredible songwriter, just everything about her. It
Speaker 4: doesn't feel like there are that many of those huge characters.
Speaker 4: I guess you'd go down look for like Lady Gargar
Speaker 4: or something like that. But you know that's kind of
Speaker 4: a different thing, right, like a different pop thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so because she put in, She put
Speaker 3: an effort all the time.
Speaker 5: I guess sat in late life. It's like they understood.
Speaker 3: Like it's like they appreciate it enough to put an
Speaker 3: effort every time and like get dressed up or you know.
Speaker 3: It's I like it because it's not really human, but
Speaker 3: it's so deeply human, like they're unapologetically themselves, but there's
Speaker 3: nothing kind of.
Speaker 5: Like the way they look.
Speaker 3: It's like over exaggerated and kind of anti human in
Speaker 3: a way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like you can't relate to it, can you. You
Speaker 4: can't look at meat Loaf in those huge rough shirts.
Speaker 5: Not really. I guess maybe like do you know the
Speaker 5: cock Destroyers.
Speaker 4: Who, sorry, the cock Destroyers, The cock Destroyers, the cock Destroyers,
Speaker 4: and I can't say I do tell me about that.
Speaker 5: They're too ladies.
Speaker 3: I think they're from London maybe, but they've just got
Speaker 3: these like massive fake boobs, massive fake lips.
Speaker 5: They're like pro sex.
Speaker 3: They they're sex workers, and they're just kind of like
Speaker 3: these big personalities and they're like that kind of same,
Speaker 3: like unapologetically themselves. They have a message they like are
Speaker 3: so human that they're like above human.
Speaker 5: They're really really dope. You've got to google them.
Speaker 4: What do they what do they do? They perform tracks
Speaker 4: or what's that thing?
Speaker 3: No, they don't. They don't make songs. They're just kind
Speaker 3: of like Internet personalities. But also like they have like
Speaker 3: a YouTube channel and they make porn.
Speaker 5: But I don't watch the porn. I just like them.
Speaker 4: Yea, the cock Destroyers. Man, I'm in the name alone.
Speaker 4: Had you had me at the name.
Speaker 5: They're awesome.
Speaker 3: But I'll put that in the same category really as
Speaker 3: meat Life and Dolly.
Speaker 4: I reckon Meatloaf would be flattered by that. I'll put
Speaker 4: a link below this when we put this up, I'll
Speaker 4: put a link below to some cock destroyers content.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and links. They're only fans so they can get
Speaker 5: some k is.
Speaker 4: Yes, so will Yeah. Yeah, by the way, I think
Speaker 4: you guys should you guys could definitely do a good
Speaker 4: cover of Bow of Hell right out of Hell. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's what That's what I want to hear next. All right,
Speaker 4: that would be amazing, that.
Speaker 5: Would be incredible. That'd be so unexpected.
Speaker 4: Have you had to do the the show is Triple
Speaker 4: J right in Australia? Do the cover sessions called like,
Speaker 4: have you done one of those?
Speaker 5: No? We haven't.
Speaker 4: Would you would you do? Would you would you want
Speaker 4: to do one of those? Or is that just not
Speaker 4: not for you? Guys?
Speaker 5: It's hard to say if I would or not. I
Speaker 5: would maybe do it, but I also maybe wouldn't. We haven't.
Speaker 3: We've gotten a little bit of support from them recently,
Speaker 3: but that's a new thing.
Speaker 4: So yeah, right, got yeah, Well, if you ever take
Speaker 4: the opportunity, I think you should do that out of Hell.
Speaker 4: I think that's what you should do. And actually, even
Speaker 4: if you don't get the opportunity, I think you should
Speaker 4: just do it anyway and just put just put.
Speaker 5: It it surprise everyone.
Speaker 4: Yeah. The stuff that I hear in like that in
Speaker 4: the new record is like I hear a lot of
Speaker 4: hardcore in this one, yeah, which like is kind of
Speaker 4: the scene that you grew up in, right, listening to
Speaker 4: a lot of DC hardcore and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Just a lot of local hardcore really, like just I
Speaker 3: didn't know any kind of big bands or anything like that,
Speaker 3: but if someone like that'd be like bands that would
Speaker 3: who are along the coast and they would stop by
Speaker 3: my town and just play and they'd have like fifty
Speaker 3: people there, and I was like, this is cool.
Speaker 5: Like, if I've probably listened.
Speaker 3: To it now, it'd probably be really average, but at
Speaker 3: the time it was really exciting. But we're all really
Speaker 3: big fans of like Cromags and Warthog and yeah, just
Speaker 3: like all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: I can't think right now, but yeah, you.
Speaker 4: Can also hear like your love for rapping it as well.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I love rap music. Heaps.
Speaker 6: That's cool that you can hear it.
Speaker 4: Is that your is that you're like growing up? Was
Speaker 4: that the thing that first got you into music? Was
Speaker 4: it was wrapped the thing for you?
Speaker 3: I remember one of the first couple of CDs I
Speaker 3: got it was a what was it was the best
Speaker 3: of Sleigher I think, and best of ice Cube.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, I mean that makes sense when you listen
Speaker 4: to everyone of the sniffers, that makes total sense that
Speaker 4: they were your records. Who are your rappers? Like growing up?
Speaker 4: Who are your heroes from that?
Speaker 3: Just basic stuff really like I never really dove deep
Speaker 3: into music and like never really you only think that
Speaker 3: exclusive or hidden.
Speaker 5: It was just really surface level.
Speaker 3: So yeah, like ice Cube, I really liked NWA, really
Speaker 3: liked I liked em and M.
Speaker 5: I like Biggie Small's just like all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 6: The greats, yeah, yeah, all the greats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but at the moment, I really like do you
Speaker 3: know Bruce Ey.
Speaker 4: No, I don't.
Speaker 3: Oh he's the best. He's I think he's from Nottingham.
Speaker 3: He's really great. It's like, b are you hyphen c?
Speaker 3: Like that kind of grimy drum and bassed stuff is
Speaker 3: really dope. I really like Slow Tie. I like Jungle Pussy.
Speaker 3: She's really really sick.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the new Jungle Pussy at the album that came
Speaker 4: out earlier in the year was brilliant.
Speaker 5: Wasn't it so good? She's incredible?
Speaker 4: You know. I really loved your Verse on Nudget on
Speaker 4: the Sleep of Mod's track, Thanks brilliant for We're put
Speaker 4: a link to that blow as well. I guess for
Speaker 4: people that's kind of your that's you wrapping the most
Speaker 4: you've wrapped. I would say, personally, maybe it's because of
Speaker 4: the track and the you know, the beat on it
Speaker 4: and stuff. But I also loved the video that you did,
Speaker 4: like your little section of the video, and we had
Speaker 4: the we had Sleeper Mods on the cover of our
Speaker 4: magazine around that time, just after that video had come out,
Speaker 4: and they were saying, how like they were amazed when
Speaker 4: you sent them that little piece of footage because they
Speaker 4: obviously had to this. Throughout Lockdown, people also haven't only
Speaker 4: had to like make music remotely with each other sending
Speaker 4: it back and forward when our videos turned up, that
Speaker 4: sometimes had to be done in bits and pieces as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and your bit.
Speaker 4: And it's great because it's kind of a shot of
Speaker 4: Golden Hour right where you're around. It's wicked. It just
Speaker 4: looks great. It's such a good Juxtas position because those
Speaker 4: guys are walking around a block in Nottingham, in gret
Speaker 4: Nottingham and it cuts to you in this beautiful, dazzling
Speaker 4: sunshine at sunset.
Speaker 3: It was really funny as well when we were filming that,
Speaker 3: Like we were so we're like driving on these backstreets
Speaker 3: and whatever, driving back and forth because they're shitting at
Speaker 3: the back of the car or whatever. And at one
Speaker 3: point this like man and a baby kind of came
Speaker 3: out of the house and they were like wait and
Speaker 3: the driver was like yeah, and he's like, oh, I
Speaker 3: was just wondering can I get Can my baby get
Speaker 3: a fighter with Amy? So I got a fight with
Speaker 3: a baby that day?
Speaker 4: Well, I found Yeah, does that happen often? Or was that?
Speaker 4: Like is that quite rare?
Speaker 5: Not?
Speaker 4: The baby thing?
Speaker 3: That was the first baby I held. I was pretty
Speaker 3: taken aback by it. It was it's like a big
Speaker 3: hot lump of like dough. But that happened sometimes. Like
Speaker 3: down the supermarket this afternoon, some some lady was like Amy,
Speaker 3: and I was kind of like, yeah, I just forgot
Speaker 3: that people know who I am.
Speaker 5: So she was kind of like, hey, what's going on.
Speaker 4: I imagine they were all kind of saying nice things
Speaker 4: to you, like when they see you, they're.
Speaker 5: Like yeah, very very nice, Yeah, super friendly.
Speaker 3: They weren't want us to say nothing negative or I
Speaker 3: would fucking end up with a black eye.
Speaker 4: That talking of like the rap stuff. I saw a clip.
Speaker 4: What was that clip of you that you posted recently
Speaker 4: on like a TV show where you were wrapping wap
Speaker 4: Cardi B's wap To but you were reading the recipe
Speaker 4: from a Coca Cola recipe book.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so there's this is tryan TV show.
Speaker 3: It's like a kind of I don't know what you
Speaker 3: call it, but it's a TV show to like musicians
Speaker 3: and stuff called Fix and Specs. And they have a
Speaker 3: segment called Substitute where a musician has to they get
Speaker 3: given like a book and then they have to sing
Speaker 3: a song but with.
Speaker 5: Different lyrics out of her book.
Speaker 3: So I did Cardi B's wap to Classic Cooking with Coca.
Speaker 4: Cola amazing, But it looked like it looked like this
Speaker 4: this show from the clip that you showed, it's hosted
Speaker 4: by Adam.
Speaker 5: Hills, right, yeah, Adam Hills.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he's like huge here.
Speaker 5: Now I don't know, it's the last leg, is that right?
Speaker 4: Exactly? Does the last leg and it's like one of
Speaker 4: the biggest shows on terrestrial TV here. Now, I didn't
Speaker 4: actually realize he also had a show back home still
Speaker 4: he must like, yeah, fly backwards and forwards all the time.
Speaker 4: What time does that show go out? It looked like
Speaker 4: quite like a mainstream show.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like it's like prime time.
Speaker 3: I think it's like seven point thirty on a Sunday
Speaker 3: or something like that.
Speaker 4: And in those moments, is there part of you that's thinking,
Speaker 4: holy shit, I'm on TV. How does this?
Speaker 5: Oh my god?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, I'm on TV. I have no idea
Speaker 3: what's going on. It's so bizarre. But I'm like, this
Speaker 3: is crazy.
Speaker 4: Is it just like like you say, like with the band,
Speaker 4: like you guys just seem to throw yourself into things
Speaker 4: and just think I'll give that a go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3: I mean it's simple, it's it's it's bizarre, but it's
Speaker 3: not as bizarre as you'd think. Like you kind of
Speaker 3: just do it and you're doing it and then it's
Speaker 3: done and then you're like, oh, well that's something that happened.
Speaker 3: Even though it's super exciting and super special and it
Speaker 3: feels really cool, I'm like, I.
Speaker 5: Just feel cool to be on TV. I'm like, fuck yeah.
Speaker 3: But it's also just yeah, it's like if I was
Speaker 3: working at the supermarket and you know, maybe like I'd
Speaker 3: get new food in and I.
Speaker 5: Was like, oh, this is exciting. You could just it's
Speaker 5: just normal.
Speaker 4: I guess have you always been that way? Have you
Speaker 4: always been someone that just throws themselves into things like
Speaker 4: as a kid and stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so. It's hard to remember, but I
Speaker 5: think so.
Speaker 3: I just I just want to try stuff and give
Speaker 3: it a go and see what happens.
Speaker 4: Would you go into space?
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'd do that. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The reason I say is because did you see that
Speaker 4: Richard Branson went up into space last week?
Speaker 5: No? I don't even know who that is.
Speaker 4: Okay, So Richard Branson is kind of our He's like
Speaker 4: a British version of Elon Musk. I guess he's a billionaire.
Speaker 4: He owns Virgin Records and the airline Virgin. Yeah, he's
Speaker 4: quite old. Now, he's quite an old guy. It feels
Speaker 4: to me like right now the world's are obviously insane
Speaker 4: in so many ways, but there are like a handful
Speaker 4: of billionaires who are obsessed with getting into space. Elon
Speaker 4: Musk is one, Jeff Bezos is one. Richard Branson has
Speaker 4: always been a bit obsessed with space anyway. He took
Speaker 4: it didn't really make the news. I love the fact
Speaker 4: that you don't even know that this happened, because this
Speaker 4: should be world news, but it obviously isn't. He took
Speaker 4: the first commercial plane into space.
Speaker 5: What did he do out there? Where did he go?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: It lasted ninety seconds. He just flew into space for
Speaker 4: ninety seconds on this new rocket. I mean, quite amazing
Speaker 4: in a way, but also completely pointless in my opinion.
Speaker 6: But I bet you that.
Speaker 5: Has had a bunch of times. It only lasted ninety seconds.
