He showed us the parallel universe of the troubadour.” Check out the new song here:   Woodland is their first album since 2020’s All the Good Times, a collection of covers and classic folk songs which earned the duo the 2021 GRAMMY Award for Best Folk Album, and their first album of new original music since 2017’s Poor David’s Almanack.

The Amity Affliction made the first stop during their European tour in Munich at the Free & Easy festival at the Backstage Munich. Entry is usually free at this festival, to make sure you get into the venue though, you’re advised to get a ticket which ensures you’re getting in. Those said tickets were sold out, so the venue was pretty packed. 33 Celsius (~ 90 F) outside, inside it was a sauna. Like every time, TAA crushed it. Since it’s the 10th-anniversary tour of “Let The Ocean Take Me” they played the record as a whole and added some classics like “Open Letter” and recent ones like “I See Dead People”. The other three bands that night – As Time Went By, Trust The Shark and Tenside – were a good addition. Tenside are a popular local band from Munich. They already do have a solid fanbase around here. Enjoy the photos from this amazing sweaty show and make sure to catch the bands live at a place near you. As Time Went By [Read More]
