The Amity Affliction – one of Australia's top post-hardcore bands – have just taken the wraps off the first single from their new album, with Pittsburgh a typically melodic and visceral cut from the Brisbane outfit.

The track comes from their album Let The Ocean Take Me, which will be released Friday 6 June, and as part of today's reveal pre-orders for the record have begun.

There are 18 different pre-order bundles (limited edition tie-dye merch packs, vinyl and the rest of it) and the band's management company Unified told theMusic.com.au today that their servers crashed completely within nine minutes.

That's despite them anticipating a rush of traffic and having their IT guys install two back-up servers.
