They’ve now returned with ‘U Should Not Be Doing That’, along with a B-side called ‘Fact’s, both of which frontwoman Amy Taylor calls “pretty self-explanatory”.“U Should Not Be Doing That” makes me laugh, but it’s also in a way poking fun at the shock that people still feel at a little bit of skimpy clothing, and the bitchy high school way that the music community still is (yes I’m talking to you random 40-year-old metalheads sitting around a table doing lines and bitching about a 28-year-old chick in a band for wearing shorts and “selling out”) but it mainly makes me laugh,” she said.“It’s unconscious and meant nothing at the time of writing it but now I think it’s a comedic way of rubbing the dog’s nose in its own dog piss after it wee’d on your favourite rug or something.”Take a listen to the song down below:Amyl & The Sniffers will soon be embarking on their UK/Europe tour, alongside supporting the Foo Fighters in North America later this year.
