Review

If you're getting ready to shred the gnar or take on a killer skatepark, "Cartoon Darkness" from Amyl and The Sniffers is the soundtrack to fuel your adrenaline. This Australian punk outfit has crafted a potent and thought-provoking album, delving into contemporary societal issues and blowing it up with their high-energy sound. With themes like the climate crisis, war, and the impact of technology, lead singer Amy Taylor delivers a raw critique of modern life, while the band's signature punk and pub rock style comes alive at Foo Fighters' 606 Studios, also known for its work with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to turn up the volume and take on the world. "Jerkin'" "Chewing Gum", and "Big Dreams" showcase the band's quantum progression, offering a taste of their boundless energy. Despite some critical differences, like the 6.8/10 from Pitchfork, the album has gotten widespread acclaim, earning points from Clash, The Line of Best Fit, and more. Letting the band's exhilarating performance ride shotgun, there's no denying the album's universal appeal, making it a standout in punk and rock music. - Kendra
