Punk feminist Amy Taylor on finding comfort in uncomfortable situations

Amy Taylor’s music has taken her all over the world – from the UK to the US, Coachella to Glastonbury – but she definitely wasn’t expecting it to deliver an audience with the Prime Minister. Yet that’s precisely what happened on Wednesday, when the often foul-mouthed and always feminist frontwoman for ascendant Melbourne pub-punk band Amyl and the Sniffers was flown to Canberra for a meeting with Anthony Albanese.

In this episode, Taylor chats to Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall, author of the magazine’s profile of Taylor this weekend. Their conversation explored everything from the structural sexism that’s rife within the industry to the uncomfortable conversations Taylor is more than comfortable having.
