The Kerrang! staff’s top albums of 2024
You’ve seen the Kerrang! albums of 2024. Now check out what the staff were all listening to this year…
Ahead of this Friday’s Cartoon Darkness LP, Amyl And The Sniffers have shared a new single and video in which they “poke the world back”.
Amyl And The Sniffers have shared a new single and video, Jerkin’.
With third album Cartoon Darkness arriving on Friday, October 25, the foursome have given fans one final taste of the record, along with a censored and uncensored version of the accompanying video.
Says singer Amy Taylor of Jerkin’: “It’s good to express your anger when someone’s been pissing you off and it’s good to have humour in life, especially as a woman, when you’re meant to just passively say ‘everything’s good’ to keep everyone else comfortable.
“The best part about this song is that a squirter can be anybody’s genitals. I wanted to write a song to big-up ‘the self’ while putting down the ‘other’ because sometimes, even if it’s just for a small window, that’s the best way to laugh something off and empower yourself. World’s pissing me off and breaking my heart more than ever right now, might as well poke it back. It’s pointless but it’s cathartic.”
Watch the censored video for Jerkin’ below, and the explicit version here if you’re over the age of 18.
