Crowded House might have lost its number one possie to Eminem this week, but the ARIA charts weren’t all bad news for local acts. The Amity Affliction have made an impressive debut, with their sophomore album Youngbloods landing at number six.
It’s good news for the Queensland six-piece who are preparing to head out on a national tour to promote the release. If you’re hoping to see the lads, you’d better be quick. Shows in Adelaide and Melbourne have already sold out, and tickets for other shows are limited. With the band heading to the United Kingdom and the United States later this year, this might be the last time we see them for a while.
