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…
Watch the video for Amyl And The Sniffers’ U Should Not Be Doing That, a song about “the bitchy high school way that the music community still is”.
As teased last week, Amyl And The Sniffers are back with brand-new music!
The Aussie faves – Amy Taylor, Dec Martens, Gus Romer and Bryce Wilson – have just unleashed their first new single in three years, U Should Not Be Doing That, along with an accompanying B-side called Facts.
“Lyrically they’re both self-explanatory,” says Amy. “U Should Not Be Doing That makes me laugh, but it’s also in a way poking fun at the shock that people still feel at a little bit of skimpy clothing, and the bitchy high school way that the music community still is – yes, I’m talking to you random 40-year-old metalheads sitting around a table doing lines and bitching about a 28-year-old chick in a band for wearing shorts and ‘selling out’ – but it mainly makes me laugh.
“It’s unconscious and meant nothing at the time of writing it but now I think it’s a comedic way of rubbing the dog’s nose in its own dog piss after it wee’d on your favourite rug or something.”
