Amyl and The Sniffers mark a decade of raw punk energy with a remastered Giddy Up / Big Attraction vinyl.
Ten years ago, in a Chapel Street sharehouse, four 20-year-olds with zero expectations recorded an EP in a single afternoon.
Those six blistering minutes became Giddy Up. An hour later, Amyl and The Sniffers had a name, a Bandcamp upload, and the beginnings of a legacy.
After a year of backyard gigs and sweaty Melbourne house shows, the band dropped their second EP, Big Attraction, in 2017. Now, to mark a decade of raw power and reckless spirit, both EPs are back in a remastered 10th anniversary 12-inch vinyl edition.
Featuring early classics like ‘I’m Not A Loser’ and ‘Stole My Pushbike,’plus live favourites ‘Balaclava Lover Boogie’ and ‘Westgate,’ it’s the sound of the band before the world caught on – feral, funny, and unstoppable.
The gatefold sleeve pairs Chris Sutherland’s iconic 2017 band photo with a fresh essay from Amy Taylor and never-before-seen behind-the-scenes shots by Jamie Wdziekonski.
“We recorded and wrote over the afternoon… we’d never played together before that day… it’s spontaneous, fun, and achievable because it sounded good to us,” Taylor recalls. “We weren’t perfectionists, and it didn’t matter.”
From sticky Melbourne floors to international stages, it all started here.
Giddy Up / Big Attraction hits vinyl on Friday, 22 May via Virgin Music Group, ahead of the band’s 2026 US and European tour, hitting everything from Toronto and Boston to Barcelona, Oslo, and Dublin.
