Amyl & The Sniffers have shared a new single called ‘Jerkin” – you can watch the X-rated official video below.The racy and playful song is the final preview of the Australian punk band’s third studio album, ‘Cartoon Darkness’, which is due for release on Friday (October 25).“It’s good to express your anger when someone’s been pissing you off and it’s good to have humour in life, especially as a woman, when you’re meant to just passively say ‘everything’s good’ to keep everyone else comfortable,” explained frontwoman Amy Taylor.“The best part about this song is that a squirter can be anybody’s genitals.

I wanted to write a song to big-up ‘the self’ while putting down the ‘other’ because sometimes, even if it’s just for a small window, that’s the best way to laugh something off and empower yourself.”Taylor added: “World’s pissing me off and breaking my heart more than ever right now, might as well poke it back.

It’s pointless but it’s cathartic.”The track is accompanied by an explicit 18+ music video, directed by John Angus Stewart, and it is available via the group’s official website.

It reflects the risqué lyrics of ‘Jerkin” (“I don’t wanna be stuck inside that negativity/ Keep jerkin’ on your squirter, you will never get with me“).Watch here, or see the censored version below.Speaking about the X-rated version of the visuals, Stewart said: “The level of offence that a vagina or penis can generate is absolutely bizarre.
