Amyl And The Sniffers — Giddy Up / Big Attraction
10th Anniversary Reissue on 180-Gram Black Vinyl
Ten years ago, in a sharehouse on Chapel Street, four 20-year-olds with zero expectations wrote and recorded an EP in a single afternoon. Those six blistering minutes of music became Giddy Up. An hour later, Amyl & The Sniffers had a name, a Bandcamp upload, and the beginnings of a legacy. Following a year of backyard gigs, playing for friends and partying across Melbourne’s sticky carpet music scene, the band released their iconic second EP, Big Attraction, in 2017.
To celebrate a decade of raw power and reckless spirit, Giddy Up/Big Attraction returns in a definitive 10th anniversary 12-inch vinyl edition — fully remastered for maximum punch. Featuring early classics like “I’m Not A Loser” and “Stole My Pushbike,” plus enduring live favorites “Balaclava Lover Boogie” and “Westgate,” this is the sound of Amyl & The Sniffers before the world caught up — feral, funny, and unstoppable.
The reissue is housed in a gatefold sleeve showcasing Chris Sutherland’s iconic 2017 band photo, along with an exclusive new essay from Amy Taylor and a heap of never-before-seen behind-the-scenes shots from the band’s earliest days by Jamie Wdziekonski. As Taylor recalls: “We recorded and wrote over the afternoon … we’d never played together before that day … it’s spontaneous, and fun and achievable in that time because to us it sounded more than good and we weren’t perfectionists and it didn’t matter.”
