IN THE midst of an ongoing legal battle and Grammys afterglow, Melbourne pub rock punk heroes Amyl and the Sniffers are not-so-quietly celebrating their 10th anniversary.

Recorded in a single afternoon and delivered immediately to BandCamp, “Giddy Up” marked the band’s first recording. “Big Attraction” followed up a year later; the original vinyl version of those EPs is now a sought-after collector’s item.

To mark their 10th birthday, Amyl and the Sniffers have had “Giddy Up/Big Attraction” re-mastered and reissued in a double gatefold sleeve with photos and an essay from Amy Taylor herself. Also available on CD, pre-orders are now available for release on May 22.

The band has also just announced a slew of US and EU tour dates for June through August.
