Everyone Loves You… Once You Leave Them by The Amity Affliction

Everyone Loves You... Once You Leave Them, the seventh studio album from Gympie, Queensland's the Amity Affliction, arrived on 21 February 2020, their first for Pure Noise Records, with Matt Squire producing. It's also the first with Joe Longobardi as a full member behind the drums: he had filled in as a session player on Misery and took over officially in February 2018, after Ryan Burt stepped away for his mental health.

The band built their name on metalcore made from raw nerves, songs about depression, anxiety and death that draw on singer Joel Birch's own past struggles. Here that means crushing breakdowns giving way to huge, cathartic choruses, with Dan Brown's guitar doing the heavy lifting, and "Soak Me in Bleach" is the one radio couldn't shake.
