The Amity Affliction's Ahren Stringer says he did "nothing wrong", kicked off tour with "no warning"
A few days ago we reported The Amity Affliction's bassist and clean vocalist Ahren Stringer will miss the remaining dates of the band's North American 10th anniversary of Let The Ocean Take Me tour with Currents, Dying Wish, and Mugshot.
It was announced that Tim Beken of True North would take over his role for the rest of the tour.
The band released a message on May 24th, that stated the following:
In what is the most heartbreaking news, we have to tell you that Ahren won't be joining us on the remainder of our North American tour dates. Tim Beken, who many of you will know from True North, will join us for all upcoming shows until Ahren returns.
This decision is in the best interest of Ahren's mental health and well-being. He is returning to Australia to address his struggle with addiction and get the support he needs.
This tour has been our best US tour ever, and we look forward to seeing you on the road. Please feel free to bring signs of support for Ahren that we can send to him at home, now more than ever he needs as much support as we can possibly give him.
Thank you for understanding and please respect Ahren's privacy as well as ours, this is a heartbreaking matter that we will be working through internally as we look forward to his recovery and return.
However, in the comments on that thread, it seems Stringer was in fact booted from the tour through no choice of his own.
The comment he left on the band's Instagram post said:
I was booted from the tour with no warning whatsoever I did absolutely nothing wrong but I wish you guys all the best in the future.
In the days since, Stringer has been posting photos on Instagram working with his dad on some woodworking projects, and another post that apologized to fans for missing the tour:
I'm sorry I couldn't finish the tour y'all I really wanted to 😓
We are hoping for Ahren's recovery in his time away and we wish him the best.
The Amity Affliction frontman Joel Birch left a comment on his own personal Instagram ensuring fans that Stringer is not being replaced and that this is a temporary situation:
I can't wait to have you back. I'm crushed, but we have made the right move for our dear friend's health. This fucking sucks, but we carry on, and we owe a huge thank you to @itstruenorth for loaning us Tim temporarily. Ahren is not being replaced, ever, everything is temporary. Thank you for understanding.

Post Commentsee, everyone needs to take notes. Everyone is replaceable. All it takes is some rando showing up that can give better blowjobs than you, and boom, right back to Australia
Dudes who live with their parents feel vindicated because of this post
Sure, let's believe the guy with face tattoos and a history of addiction and depression
"Answer the call if you don't like what you see If you don't have what it takes don't f*cking talk about me"
what the hell is a "clean singer"? I thought he has an addiction problem. How is he clean?
Asshole affliction, Cums, Dying Bitch and Backshots. Just gay
"Dudes who live with their parents feel vindicated because of this post" ^ Stfu Ahren. Go get sober you Aussie crackhead.
Kicked off so he can learn how to play bass and sing at the same time without backing tracks
The backing bass tracks I've heard about for some time. The records have barely audible bass guitar anyway. I don't get it.
Guy With Face Tattoo Is Actually Totally Innocent, Sources Claim (Him)
They/them want to go to norco and hang with the blacks not the aryans
Face tattoos like a f*cking convict. Stop being a leech on society. We need more REAL men like Bing Crosby and Frankie Sinatra. And that very well spoken nice dancer Sammy Davis Jr. He is such a nice man. And so well spoken.
Looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree. His own dad wears random American baseball hats, boozin, and putting dtd in his handle. Pathetic.
LMAO @ him dressed in a Baltimore Orioles cap - jersey. He probably couldn't name one Oriole without his phone.
>Face tattoos like a f*cking convict. Stop being a leech on society. We need more REAL men like Bing Crosby and Frankie Sinatra. And that very well spoken nice dancer Sammy Davis Jr. He is such a nice man. And so well spoken. For me, is Al Jolson. A stand-up American make. Proud straight Jewish man who supported the troops and Israel. He's called the world's greatest entertainer.
lol his cleans were garbage at Warped 2018 when i saw them. Godd riddance.
is his dad professional golfer john daly? also LOL @ "clean vocalist"
I don't know what's worse, a Dodgers fan or a Biden voter. At least Biden has won something after 1988. 🤣
" anonymous 3 hours ago LMAO @ him dressed in a Baltimore Orioles cap - jersey. He probably couldn't name one Oriole without his phone." I laughed so hard at this ong thanks for that mate
Since when are Aussies interested in f*cking baseball? Please stick with rugby and football (soccer) thank you
Holy f*cking shit. A: webby please f*cking kill your self over all these pointless embeds. Genuinely. B. Seeing this dudes face tells me every single detail. You don't need to explain a god damn thing.
You can't spell liberal without the big L for loser. Haha. Wooden doors, bro!

Proud straight Jewish man who supported the troops and Israel. He's called the world's greatest entertainer. He was a racist POS like you who wore blackface & you mentioned him because of it. You think Sammy Davis Jr. was an n-word just say it then say it to a black man's face you coward. 🤡🫏🐔💩😮🐱🖕
I don't know what's worse, a Dodgers fan or a Trump voter. At least Biden, Clinton & Obama have won something after 1988 legitimately. 🤣 Bush Sr. - Won because of Reagan's popularity, lost when he had to stand on his own name & record. Bush Jr. - Won because a corrupt Florida judge in cahoots with his (Bush Jr.'s) Florida governor brother Jeb awarded Florida to him. Trump - Stole the 2016 presidential election with help from Russia & illegal campaign money. Biden beat him legitimately 306-232 & will win all the states he won in 2020 plus ME2 & North Carolina. Trump will win Texas & Florida again but not by much. Both will turn blue in 2032 or 2036.
^ It will be closer in Texas, Florida & Ohio, North Carolina & ME2 if Biden can't take those. No way Biden is losing AZ, GA or NE2 which voted blue for the first time in many years in 2020. MI is squarely back in the blue column. PA will be won handily because swing voters especially women in suburban Philadelphia & the surrounding counties will vote Biden. Red counties especially east of Altoona will go to Trump less thus Biden will run up more votes there (all he has to do there.) Trump can forget MN, NH & NV. The one state he MAY take back is WI for a measly 10 electoral votes but unlikely as a young black man almost unseated an old white incumbent U.S. Senator there.
Guy who has drunk til death in his ig handle kicks other guy who has drunk til death in his ig handle off tour due to addiction problems
Read about 1/15000 of this article and already know nobody cares.
Why would someone choose to be into the Orioles? Why would said person also wear a Mariners hat? And is that a Chicago Blackhawks tattoo under his eye? Dude is a f*cking disaster.
>his cleans were garbage at Warped 2018 when i saw them You went to the Warped Tour in 2018 and you say shit like "cleans" - I don't think you are qualified to cast judgement on anyone
>He was a racist POS like you who wore blackface & you mentioned him because of it. You think Sammy Davis Jr. was an n-word just say it then say it to a black man's face you coward. 🤡🫏🐔💩😮🐱🖕 I would call him and you the n-word if it was allowed here.
Why would someone choose to be into the Orioles? Why would said person also wear a Mariners hat? And is that a Chicago Blackhawks tattoo under his eye? Dude is a f*cking disaster. -Orioles best team in baseball -Mariners pitching is unreal, underrated logo too -No explanation for the Blackhawks
Why do they even need a bass player in the first place he doesn't even play live and nobody would notice if he played or not regardless
