Amyl & The Sniffers Named Latest Winners Of Levi's Music Prize

Amyl & The Sniffers have been announced as the latest winners of the Levi's Music Prize. 

The Melbourne group have won a huge $30,000, including $25,000 in cash and $5,000 in travel from Stage & Screen, which is awarded to a group that has previously showcased at BIGSOUND.

“It's great to win the Levi's® Music Prize. The cash is gonna come in really handy this year, it’s gonna get us on the road for SXSW and our upcoming tours and we’re super grateful," says the band of the win. 

"It’s sick that we were a part of BIGSOUND a couple years ago and we’ve come a long way since then, some dude who is on BBC radio saw us play there and we ended up on his show in London last year. 

"It’s great that Levi’s® give this opportunity to bands and even sicker that one of the bands is us, hehe. We're excited to get back over to the States and play heaps of gigs before we put out our album in May. Filthy!!!!"

They join previous winners Emerson Snowe, Stella Donnelly, Alex Lahey, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and Hatchie.
