Pittsburgh has long been in my playlist rotation, especially if I’m feeling lost or down and just need a pick-me-up. The Amity Affliction seems to have that impact on people; if you need a band with meaningful, relatable lyrics to show you are not alone in your feelings, you should listen to The Amity Affliction. This tour showcased the band’s most recent release, Not Without My Ghosts, which to me, felt like a continuation of the 2020 album, Everyone Loves You…Once You Leave Them. True to their sound, The Amity Affliction continues to bring hard-hitting growls and sincere clean vocals annotated by thunderous beats and technical guitar riffs. Ahren is a force to be reckoned with, playing bass, offering clean vocals, and being the driving force behind the band’s success. The crowd received the new album with utter joy, quickly acclimating to the songs and cataloging them with other The Amity Affliction sing-alongs like Drag the Lake and Soak Me in Bleach.

Keep an eye out for The Amity Affliction beginning September 2023, which is when they return to North America to play some festivals, along with a solid tour with Parkway Drive, Northlane, and Make Them Suffer.
