Amyl and the Sniffers have shared new single ‘Big Dreams’.
The band are known for a particular brand of punk rock – stripped back, rabble rousing, cheeky as hell… and definitely NSFW.
New album ‘Cartoon Darkness’ is out on October 25th, and it finds Amyl and the Sniffers switching it up. Take new single ‘Big Dreams’ – a punk rock ballad inspired by the cost of living crisis, it moves past the bravado to explore some painful emotions.
As ever, it’s done with a wink and a nudge, but the change is there – on ‘Big Dreams’, the Australian band really mean it.
Singer Amy Taylor comments…
I am writing this before ‘Big Dreams’ comes out, and I am actually a bit nervous that it’s a single, because it’s so different from a lot of people’s expectations of us. This song was written because a lot of people in my life are struggling financially, and it’s really hard to make your dreams come true when you’re trying to get by day-to-day. But when I think of my friends doing what they love, and I see how good they are at it, I just know they’ve never been dull, they’ve always been lit, and there’s nothing that will break that or take it away from them.
The video we shot in the desert, it was the first clip we shot for this album, and it was fun as hell.
