The Amity Affliction
The Amity Affliction left Australia last week to record their new album
Youngbloods in New York with hardcore super-producer Machine (Every
Time I Die, Lamb Of God, Gym Class Heroes).
With the introduction of former The Getaway Plan guitarist Clint Splattering, and the heaviness inspired by 18 months of toughing it out on the road, Youngbloods is set to fulfill the bands promise and be one of 2010’s most anticipated and successful heavy/punk/hardcore releases.
Throughout the recording experience Amity will be keeping fans up to date with their goings on in New York City through their new site www.theamityaffliction.com. Look out for regular video, text and photo content as well as updates from their recently announced US and Canadian tours supporting Misery Signals throughout May and June and a MASSIVE announcement on Thursday 15 April.
The underground swell surrounding the band since the release of their 2008 debut Severed Ties which peaked at #26 on the ARIA Charts and received glowing reviews in Kerrang!, Blunt Magazine and every publication in between has made them one of the most popular heavy bands in Australia.
Voted “Band of the Year” in Blunt Magazine; “Album of the Year” on
KillYourStereo and runner up “Album of the Year” on Triple J’s Short Fast Loud, they sold out two Australian headline tours in 2009 before
heading over to end their year in the United Kingdom where they’re building the same reputation and loyal fanbase just as quickly.
Youngbloods will be the coming out party of the year….you have been
warned!
The Amity Afflictions Youngbloods album will be out in the Autumn.
