Joel Birch and Ahren Stringer | FANS ASKING - THE AMITY AFFLICTION

[@dijanaarslanovic7162]

Joel: I'll be sober for 4 years tomorrow. Ahren: I'm drunk.

[@olobersyko3277]

Love how Ahren transformed his IG into a meme page. Probably one of the best pages I follow there!

[@wyliehj]

Olober Syko best part is it’s public!

[@davidnissim589]

True that. Ahren is hilarious XD

[@Braddlles]

Ahren: “I’m drunk” Me too Ahren, me too

[@nicholasadams81]

The stark contrast between their answers is what got me. Joel: "I've been sober uhh, 4 years tomorrow." Ahren: "I'm drunk"

[@indrasixx]

so is that means they both still dtd? or joel just joking around by saying that?

[@PleaseForgiveYourself]

Lol, same mate, not proud TBH 😂 😭

[@nicholasjackson8782]

@@indrasixx Joel has been sober from alcohol for years

[@davidnissim589]

I love how these two are complete opposites of each other, but are still really close friends

[@LavenderApogee]

Congrats to Joel for 4 yrs sober! Ahren's become a meme lord in his down time and it's awesome! Love you guys!

[@davidnissim589]

Ahren is hilarious XD

[@alyaaamer48]

It's weird how Ahren's speaking voice is so deep and his singing voice is high 😂

[@davidnissim589]

Also how Joel’s screaming voice is either super high or super low, but his speaking voice is mid-range and rather soft 😂😂😂

Aloneliness is also my favorite song off that album. Met Joel a few weeks back in prague and he was very sweet, and a bit shy

[@Dreamingofthisplace]

Ahren's ig is the best thing since sliced bread

[@s_pink]

These dudes have saved me several times.

[@MrJkFable]

Favourite band of all time!

[@Sharpman34]

I love how their music helps people with mental health problems, it does for me. But I do feel kinda.. Bad for the band I guess, to have that kind of.. Responsibility? I'm not sure if that's the right word. I can't think of any stronger impact to have on people or fans than literally saving lives.. It's just such a deep concept and effect. Thank you Amnity Affliction, you will forever be legends to me

[@kstreet7438]

Hearing him bring up atreyu was great. They got me into metalcore

[@dudewhy2849]

I would have to agree that the newest album is my favorite, however, Chasing Ghosts is my all time favorite.

[@cesarxcastanheira]

Soak Me in Bleach rules, Ahren! Amazing job.

[@annahenry8924]

Damn right it does

[@xanxx5868]

Ahren would fit in perfect with the cast of Workaholics. I love it lmao.

[@cindy.zeller6811]

I’m from Baltimore and I love the fact that he reps the orioles and ravens gear. One of the few cities where no other pro franchises or colleges in America use as mascots. Obviously I know they are aussies so please don’t go there. Great back. Dig the stash

[@JeremyHeart14]

“ECSTASY... YES I LIKE THAT.”

[@Zackslicer]

Joel: I've been sober for 4 years tommorow Ahren: Im drunk Me: About to get on the piss at home after a boring day, but not having a depressive episode for over 2 years.

[@fuckinglegend3743]

lol same hanvt had an episode bc of the piss lol

[@yunsangkwon103]

[@charliebarker5918]

i still don’t get how they can prefer ‘everybody loves you once you leave them’ to classics like ‘severed ties’ or ‘youngbloods’

[@caleblewis3576]

[@sandynavarro3428]

Can't wait til this whole corona virus is over so I can see you guys!!!!

[@yeahnahlol3935]

Awesome interview, it was just really annoying hearing that same annoying loud music between questions.

[@AverageYTer]

Drag the Lake is easily my favorite song. I wonder if that was easy one 😂

[@lysergic1652]

“Hurry up & Wait”

[@croc2390]

Can't believe Ahren maintains that singing voice and is a smoker.

[@bassandfuzz]

can anyone explain why do people have such hard feelings against TAA? I’ve heard so much shit about them but they’re one of my favorite bands and they seem like such nice dudes.

[@unholy_ghost8112]

At least “Everyone loves you... when you leave them” is better than “Misery”. Loved these guys since Severed Ties but I wish the whole of ELYWYLT had that heavier sound like Glory Days, Severed Ties, Chasing Ghosts and Let The Ocean Take Me.

[@tecyrizz]

what depresses me the most is that they dont play stuff from severed ties. or youngbloods. I would even enjoy a whole album where they redo old songs like poison pen letters, fruity lexia, i heart throsby, dr. thunder, stuff like that. really good songs, but they could use a fresh up and be played at shows.

I love these guys but god that new album sounds so uninspired and just... boring idk, shocking to here them say it’s their proudest work. That b side from TcBhB is def better than any song on it lol btw I loved Misery, it was fresh and had good songs. This new album just feels like them trying to go back to older vibes but with less energy and lazier songwriting.
