The Amity Affliction released a new song last Friday. Have you checked out “House Of Cards” yet?
“House Of Cards” is a song penned by Joel Birch (singer) for his brother and sister (and himself), taking stock of the relationship shared with their mother; a central figure at the heart of the album.
Open about the difficult nature of the relationship shared between mother and children, Birch unpacks the thematic nature of ‘House Of Cards’,
“Our mother died in 2024 and none of us had a healthy relationship with her. She was very self-involved, aggressive, abusive in our early years and in her later years, spent a good amount of time trying to put a wedge between the three of us. Thankfully once she passed, the three of us actually became closer as we realised we had individual, but shared trauma related to her.”
The new song came with the long-awaited announcement of a new album. “House Of Cards” will be the first full-length record with the band’s new clean vocalist Jonny Reeves, who became a permanent addition to the line-up in 2025. The release date is set for April 24th, 2026 via Pure Noise Records.
The new album can already be pre-ordered on various platforms. Make sure to get your copy!
