The Amity Affliction return to Australia’s east coast
The Amity Affliction have announced a run of Australian east coast headline shows taking them back to venues they haven’t played in more than four years. After a massive arena tour in December 2015, these new dates will see The Amity Affliction getting up close and personal with their Australian fans in more intimate venues.
The tour announcement comes on the back of The Amity Affliction revealing details of their widely anticipated new album, This Could Be Heartbreak. The platinum-certified Australian band’s new LP will arrive on Friday 12th August. The band detailed the new material in a press conference yesterday hosted by former Triple J radio host / Frenzal Rhomb guitarist, Lindsay McDougall.
The Amity Affliction will head to the UK where they will embark on a series of summer festival dates and headline shows with highly anticipated sets slated for the Slam Dunk Festival and Download Festival, before heading to Australia this August and onto a string of US festival dates in September.
This Could Be Heartbreak is available now for pre-order in a variety of limited edition physical bundles via www.theamityaffliction.net, with all digital pre-orders going live Thursday, May 19 at 12am local time. All digital pre-orders will receive an instant download of the album’s gripping first single, I Bring the Weather with Me which debuted today along with the track’s official music video.
Deeply personal and emotionally wrenching, This Could Be Heartbreak is The Amity Affliction’s most transformative and revealing record yet. Recorded by producer and longtime collaborator Will Putney at Melbourne’s Holes and Corners with additional drum tracking done at Sing Sing Studios, the album finds The Amity Affliction evolving their signature powerful and cathartic song craft. Both ambitious and grand, album standouts This Could Be Heartbreak and All Fucked Up are equal parts heavy and hopeful, fuelled by frontman Joel Birch’s desperation which achieves extraordinary transcendence through radical honesty and absolute power.
