Musical career history
Call It Even (2005–2006)
Austin Carlile formed Call It Even with some of his high school friends in 2005. Mark Morbitzer (lead guitar), Frankie Walton (bass), Matt Tighe (rhythm guitar), and Connor Woodall (drums) The band only ever produced 7 songs and disbanded in 2006. One of their songs, "Superman Is Real", contains a line of lyrics that has been recycled in the Of Mice & Men's song "The Great Hendowski" from the 2011 release of Of Mice & Men's second album The Flood. Another one of their songs "No Really, Its Fine" contains a line of lyrics that has been recycled in the Of Mice & Men's song "Still YDG'N" from the 2011 release of Of Mice & Men's second album The Flood .
Attack Attack! (2006–2008)
Carlile joined Attack Attack! in 2006. Carlile suggested that if the band were going to start making heavier music with screamed vocals as its lead vocal work, it would be a good idea to "toughen up the name" a bit. The band was then renamed Attack Attack!, as selected by lead guitarist, Andrew Whiting. Carlile was featured in the recording of the band's debut EP, If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords?, and their debut album, Someday Came Suddenly. On 18 November 2008, merely a week after the release of the album, Carlile announced that "[he wasn't] in Attack Attack! anymore." When asked why, he merely responded with "personal things". This post also officially announced his then-new project, Of Mice & Men.[1] Alternative Press reported that he was fired while the band was on tour .[2]
Of Mice & Men (2008–present)
On the same day that Carlile announced that was no longer a part of Attack Attack!, he officially announced the formation of his new project, Of Mice & Men with Jaxin Hall. The band recruited several members of already-existing bands, such as A Static Lullaby, Covette, and Lower Definition.[1] Their debut album was officially announced to be released on 23 February 2010 but was delayed until 9 March for finishes on production.[3] Carlile parted ways with Of Mice & Men for not being able to tour full time with the band due to his health.[4]
In September 2010, shortly after the departure of Craig Owens of Chiodos, rumours that Carlile would replace him circulated quickly, but were denied when Brandon Bolmer was announced as vocalist.[5] A fake tweet from Carlile's account was produced making it appear that Carlile would be vocalist,[6] which he later denied.
Carlile worked for months toward a brand new project, until on 3 January 2011, Carlile was invited back into being the vocalist for Of Mice & Men, and collaborator Alan Ashby (the individual that was associated with Carlile's project) would be joining the band as well. With Carlile replacing Jerry Roush and Ashby added to the band as rhythm guitarist, their previous rhythm guitarist, Shayley Bourget was repositioned to the bass guitar.[7]
