In their stint on the late night show, The Aussie punk band performed ‘Jerkin‘ from their third studio album, ‘Cartoon Darkness’, which they had previewed with a string of singles: ‘Big Dreams’, ‘Chewing Gum’, ‘U Should Not Be Doing That’.

With the strong opening line of: “You’re a dumb c*nt, you’re an asshole / Every time you talk, you mumble, grumbles / Need to wipe your mouth after you speak / ‘Cause it’s an asshole, bum hole, dumb c*nt,” host Adam Hills joked ‘Jerkin’ wasn’t written about anyone in particular.

“It also won’t surprise you know there is some very strong language in this song,” he joked, before explaining he’d try and bleep it out, which he did with varying levels of success throughout their performance – watch footage below.

During a recent interview with NME, Amyl & The Sniffers spoke about recording the follow-up to 2021’s ‘Comfort To Me’ at Foo Fighters‘ Studio 606 in Los Angeles, California. They used the soundboard that spawned both Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ and Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’.

“It was cheap and open,” laughed bassist Gus Romer. “I don’t think any of us ever really gave a fuck about the fact that it was the Foo Fighters studio. “I think people who respect that sort of stuff don’t make the best artwork.”

As for what had inspired ‘Jerkin”, Taylor told NME: “Ah, just a bunch of crap everywhere. Fuck everyone!”

Amyl & The Sniffers are set to play their biggest headline show to date at Alexandra Palace in London next year. Next month, they’ll embark on a UK and Ireland tour before heading out across Europe. Find any remaining tickets here (UK/Ireland).

In July 2025, the band will open for Fontaines D.C. at their huge outdoor gig in London’s Finsbury Park.
