Youngbloods is the second album by Gympie post-hardcore band, The Amity Affliction. It was released on June 18, 2010 through Boomtown Records.[1] It debuted at number 6 on the ARIA Charts.[2] Grammy-nominated producer Machine produced Youngbloods. The drums were tracked at Breakwater Music Studio in Hazlet, NJ. All other tracks were recorded at the Machine Shop in Weehawken, NJ.
