Amyl and the Sniffers’ Amy Taylor: ‘I wanna punch stuff and yell ... but not all the time’

Having blazed a trail with raucous gigs, the Melbourne punk band's singer deepens her oft-caricatured image on their new album

There is a moment at the end of Amyl and the Sniffers' music video for Guided by Angels that sees frontwoman Amy Taylor quiet and alone, for once. After ripping down freeways and tunnels in the back of a Mitsubishi Lancer, her tiny body hanging halfway out of the back window, diving into the sea and dancing between the stationary Sniffers - drummer Bryce Wilson, guitarist Dec Martens and bassist Gus Romer - Taylor walks down a dark footpath, sits in the car's front seat, laughs briefly and is suddenly still.
