The Amity Affliction guitarist Troy Brady has announced his decision to leave the band. Check out his statement below:
It’s with deep regret I need to let you all know I will no longer be writing music or performing as part of The Amity Affliction. Myself and Ahren started this band 11 years ago, and spent every second of every day thinking about making the next step. I never dreamed I would see the world through music and make the life long friends that i have made.
But it is time for me to step away.
Although I’m not ready to go into any of the personal details behind this, I want to thank everyone who has supported me during my time in the band especially my family and girlfriend. This decision has been the hardest thing I have ever done.Through music i have become more enlightened and a better person, I have no regrets with my time in amity as it made me who I am today
Most of all thanks to all of the fans who have made it possible for me to do this, I will never forget it.
I wish Ahren, Ryan, Dan and Joel all the best in the future
Troy
The Amity Affliction have since released their own statement on the announcement:
Although Troy was with us since the band began, in no way will his departure slow us down; we are already writing for our next record, and our tour schedule over the next year is looking to be our busiest yet. The boat sails on, see you tonight New York!
