Former Of Mice & Men vocalist Austin Carlile has shared his thoughts on the band’s new single “Unbreakable“. It’s the first song they’ve released since Carlile left the band again late last year. Vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley has since stepped up to take over Carlile‘s parts in the band. Carlile took to his Instagram to offer:
“People saying “Of Mice is back”… we never went anywhere!!! Great job on new song guys, taking it back to sounding like the kings of screamo & metalcore again!!!
After 8 years of touring, 4 full albums, and over TWELVE members apart of this band up until this point so far… SO many people and hearts have made Of Mice what it is today… It has always been a group effort, it has always been about what everyone individually puts in or brings to the table to form the whole…
[Of Mice & Men] isn’t just one or two people… It is many. It employs over 25 people, it gives jobs & health care to people that can’t afford it (like me for example.) It brings hope to people whom may have none with it’s lyrics that Shayley, Aaron, myself, and even Valentino have written over the years… It is you.
It has always been about you, the fan, the listener. Because that’s exactly what we are ourselves, fans of music! That’s why they must continue on and I’m PROUD to see them continuing on strong, and especially proud to see Alan Ashby on the mic too.”
