Amyl and the Sniffers are an Australian pub rock and punk band based in Melbourne, consisting of vocalist Amy Taylor, drummer Bryce Wilson, guitarist Declan Mehrtens, and bassist Gus Romer. They released their debut album, Amyl and the Sniffers, in 2019. Their second album, Comfort to Me, was released in 2021, followed by their third album, Cartoon Darkness, in 2024. They have been nominated for nine ARIA Awards and have won three, including for Best Group in 2022.
 
The band takes its name from the Australian slang for amyl nitrite, also known as poppers. Taylor compared their music to the drug in an interview with Paul Glynn of the BBC: "In Australia we call poppers Amyl. So you sniff it, it lasts for 30 seconds and then you have a headache – and that's what we're like!" Their sound has been compared to 1970s punk rock groups such as Iggy Pop and the Stooges and the Damned. Taylor has cited a number of varying influences including Minor Threat, Ceremony, AC/DC, Sleaford Mods, Dolly Parton and Cardi B.
