The Amity Affliction came out of Gympie, Queensland, a metalcore band whose songs cut closer to the bone than most. Joel Birch writes from his own past struggles, and the band doesn't flinch from the hard stuff: depression, anxiety, death, substance abuse and suicide are all on the table, delivered over riffs that pummel and choruses that soar.
On Roadrunner Records they built a steady run of albums. Let the Ocean Take Me, in 2014, brought "Pittsburgh", "Don't Lean on Me" and "The Weigh Down"; This Could Be Heartbreak followed in 2016 with "I Bring the Weather with Me", and Misery in 2018 with "Ivy (Doomsday)". Everyone Loves You… Once You Leave Them arrived in 2020 carrying "Soak Me in Bleach", the EP Somewhere Beyond the Blue came the next year, and Not Without My Ghosts in 2023 gave them "Show Me Your God".
The lineup has shifted around Birch over the years, with guitarist Dan Brown on board since 2013 and Jonathan Reeves now on bass and vocals. House of Cards, in 2026, made it nine studio albums.
