Comfort to Me

3.5

Lots of fun, and Amy Taylor is a compelling lead.

Punk is best when the singer is sing shouting in a dialect you can barely understand. More please

Great pub rock. Really fun. I am sure it is amazing live. 4.5/5

fine - but just don't go crazy for this

I've seen this band's album covers, but I knew nothing about them otherwise. It was fun, though! I love the energy Australians seem to bring to punk, and the guitar playing was nesrly sludge metal at points, which I quite enjoyed. Just wish it was less repetitive and a tiny bit more melodic at points, but this is punk we're talking about, so that seems unfair of an ask, huh?

FREAKS TO THE FRONT!

An album I know inside-out and one that hits like a punk rock bolt from the blue. Comfort to Me is loud, raw, and totally unpretentious — a hurricane of fresh punk energy paired with direct, no-nonsense lyrics that don't care about literary polish. And that’s exactly the point.

Beyond the sound, this one’s personal. After 262 days of lockdown in Melbourne, they were one of the local bands to hit the stage at the Play On Victoria gig in 2021 — and the crowd needed that chaos. Amyl & the Sniffers made sure we got it. The Sidney Myer Bowl crowd of 4000 got as rowdy as possible with masked faces and aching feet — and when the band kicked off, something shifted. It wasn’t just a show; it was a city exhaling.

Every track here is tight, forceful, and urgent, and Amy Taylor is an absolute star — unfiltered, charismatic, and commanding.

Comfort to Me doesn’t try to be clever; it tries to be real. And it nails it. It's just punk as fuck.

Punk doesn't always have a ton of syncopation, and for some reason that started bugging me on this one by the time it ended. Very marching

hell yea, lets go. Security is a great track. Hertz rips.

Heard of this band a few times, but this is my first time listening, proper modern punk band, helped with a great female vocalist. Great addition to the list.
