After debuting their new album "Youngbloods" at #6 on the ARIA Charts and selling out the majority of their capital cities run earlier this month, The Amity Affliction have put together a regional run in August / September to appease the thousands of fans who are dying for more from the Brisbane six-piece.

The tour came just two weeks after their sophomore album "Youngbloods" debuted at #6 on the ARIA Charts. "Anchors" is the Triple J rotated single taken from the album, and one of the band's most popular tracks to date. The Anchors Tour will take in regional and suburban dates along the East Coast, and will be the final tour for 2010 as the band prepares to launch their UK and US campaigns at then of the year.
