The Amity Affliction es una banda australiana de post-hardcore/metalcore que logró cautivar a millones de seguidores alrededor del mundo con sus letras emocionales y potentes melodías. La banda se fundó en 2003 en Gympie, Queensland. Los miembros fundadores, Ahren Stringer y Troy Brady, comenzaron a tocar juntos en la escuela secundaria, y después de algunos cambios en la formación, finalmente se establecieron como una fuerza a tener en cuenta en la escena del metalcore.
En 2008, lanzaron su primer álbum de estudio, "Severed Ties". Este trabajo no solo mostró su habilidad musical, sino que también destacó por su capacidad para abordar temas personales y emocionales. Canciones como "I Heart H.C." y "Stairway to Hell" dejaron una marca en los fanáticos del género, posicionando a la banda como una promesa emergente.
El verdadero ascenso de The Amity Affliction comenzó con su segundo álbum, "Youngbloods", en 2010. Con una producción más pulida y letras profundamente personales, la banda empezó a ganar terreno internacional. La canción "Anchors" se convirtió en un himno para muchos y la crítica elogió su capacidad para balancear la agresividad musical con melodías pegajosas.
La consolidación de su éxito vino con el lanzamiento de "Chasing Ghosts" en 2012. Este álbum no solo alcanzó el número uno en las listas de álbumes de ARIA (la principal lista musical en Australia), sino

We struggle to our feet
We all yearn to be free
We fight and we're weak
We all come out and grieve
This goddamn life is our disease
But we can't always fucking win
We can always turn the tide
We can all stand up and sing 'never alone'
We fight together, not alone
No matter where our bodies roam
This place is now what we call home
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
Listen, always
We'll be drowning in our grave
Are we can't stand for ourselves
We have to stay afloat
(We struggle to breathe)
With the word that we try to believe
When I lost my home and find my way home
We can always turn the tide
And we get lost and not be blind, never alone
We fight together, not alone
No matter where our bodies roam
(This place is not away from home)
We are never, ever alone
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
We are not lost here together
We are not lost anymore
We'll turn the tide, we'll calm the storm
We are ready for war
We are not lost here together
We are not lost anymore
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts

(Hello? Are you there? Listening? I'm just trying to get in touch man
I've been so fucking, so fucking down lately
Like, I don't know what's happening. I'm just so tired all the time
Trying to sleep. I just, I just lay there quiet
Can't speak cause everyone around me is passed out
My fucking mind's raging. Uh, hello? I don't even know why I called
I think it, I think it might be time for me to leave. Just call it quits
I'm sick of this. It's the same fucking day, every day
I think I sleep, I can't be sure though. It's all the same now
Drink, drink, drink again
I'm tired man. I think it, you don't want to hear this. I'm a mess
I'm sorry man. I just don't know who to turn to
No one really hears me, you know?
I speak, at least I think I speak, but no one hears me
I've said enough. Hello? Hello? I shouldn't have called.)
