Dallas, TX – We caught up with The Amity Affliction frontman Joel Birch during the Spring Horizons tour to discuss House of Cards, the band’s ninth studio album, out now worldwide via Pure Noise Records. In our conversation, we explored the deeply personal themes behind the record — trauma, grief, survival, and emotional honesty — while also talking about how the band continues pushing forward more than two decades into its career, including the impact of new member Jonny Reeves on this new chapter.
We also talked with Joel about life beyond the stage — from staying grounded on the road to his golf game (which, trust us, is better than you’d think) and how he works leisure into touring when he can. Along the way, we touched on tour chemistry with August Burns Red, the connection between Amity and its fans, and what continues to fuel one of heavy music’s most enduring voices. A candid and wide-ranging conversation you won’t want to miss.
