[@Drownmeout344]

Ahrens not drunk, just Australian.

[@proeft6252]

Ahrens not drunk, he’s just from the sunny coast with a retarded semi American accent. I love these guys too, always x

[@CoreySalemmeginger]

“I went to Uni. Now I’m gonna have to quit. Got my job back” 😂

[@JJP937]

Fucking love these guys glad to hear they are making more music

[@davidnissim589]

Joel's straight edge, Ahren's always drunk.

[@Humanh8red]

As someone who is sxe and this is one of my favorite bands I had no idea Joel claimed edge. Must’ve missed that.

[@JokerCat9]

@@Humanh8red He used to struggle badly with alcoholism.

[@DieAlready]

He smokes cigarettes constantly. He's not Edge.

[@Humanh8red]

Ahren is just as beautiful as ever.

[@DaveRichardsonFitness]

Yay love these guys every interview is fun they always seem so friendly

[@jocelynzitterich3774]

ive met them several times and theyre such sweethearts

[@austineittreim5085]

Homie is hammered

[@nicholasjackson8782]

Ahren is fs lol

[@Yusukesspiritgun]

I fucking love amity AND Silverstein. These 2 bands are the ones I’d like to consider underground when I first started listening to them. And now???? Look where all the homies are. I am so proud of both bands and can never express that. These 2 bands have lyrics I’ve never even thought about before and I love that. Power to amity and Silverstein

[@irfanindrianarsyah1013]

I just wish this band come to Indonesia and blow up the stage to the roof!🥺❤️‍🔥

[@SANDMANSIERRA]

Lovely guys

[@kylesingletary1876]

So funny listening to my heroes. The way they talk is nothing like how they sing. Could it be a Milli Vanilli situation? Haha fucking love these blokes

[@amberkeith921]

Hey now, some of us Americans say Uni. LOL! This American makes a point to learn beyond the borders of the country I was born and raised in. Thanks for gracing us with your amazing talent and music!! Much love! 🖤🤘🏻

[@seanbayley7452]

Its a stereotype you Americans get saddled with quite often but you can find people who know practically nothing bout the world outside of their own in every country its definitely not just an American thing, i know plenty of fellow aussies who know jack bout anything outdide of their own bubbles.

[@sixthcirclefr]

the guys are so stoned ^^

[@nicholasjackson8782]

I'm sure Ahren is -- not sure ab Joel. He's been sober for years (at least from alcohol). Ik he's said weed gives him crippling anxiety so I doubt he's stoned loll

[@SANDMANSIERRA]

@@nicholasjackson8782 thats right.

[@davidnissim589]

Only Ahren, Joel's straight edge

[@dean-1775]

Joel is straight edge haha

[@kylesingletary1876]

Also no one's a fan of Silverstein. Every Amity fan bounced after their set in Roseville

[@nikifmxx]

What does those tear tattoos mean?

[@JokerCat9]

It's a tribute to their longtime friend who passed away. The name "Amity Affliction" pays tribute to him too.

[@JohnSchaeferUNIVERSE]

I hope Arhen gets off alcohol. I know he can do it❤❤❤❤❤

[@BladezMatikScootie]

Dude, Ahren is always drunk, except it's hilarious.

[@atom-bomboriginal6387]

It's almost been a year since a new music video? What gives??
