After announcing the first run of shows for their upcoming album launch tour a few weeks back The Amity Affliction are locked and loaded, and after finishing the recording of Youngbloods, their new, second album in New York last week with uber producer Machine, the band are back home and plotting local domination.

Two weeks ago we announced the main course for The Amity Affliction Youngbloods album tour…this week it’s dessert time!

Disappointed that the original schedule didn’t include Western Australia, Amity have not only slotted in four shows for WA (including two all ages events), but also added another two more all ages gigs for their home-state Queensland! Amity’s Youngbloods Album Tour is now truly national and totals 15 shows, including nine All Ages, and one Under 18’s only…all in 23 days!

With The Amity Affliction’s new album Youngbloods due for release in less than four weeks (18 June), the first single, ‘I Hate Hartley’ is now available for download….steal it free and legally (and still respect yourself in the morning) but before then prepare yourself for the first brutal taste from Youngbloods, featuring gang vocals from Boston band Four Year Strong, ‘I Hate Hartley’ is the album’s opening track.

Pre-Orders for both the Youngbloods album and launch tour are on sale now, and moving fast from the band’s website – www.theamityaffliction.com – while you’re there you can also catch episode seven in the adventures of Amity does America (now up to the exciting bit!).
