Vocalist Austin Carlile released a statement regarding his decision to rejoin Of Mice & Men. Carlile comments:
“As most of you have read I’m back in Of Mice & Men. The band contacted me about coming back, and recording another killer album with them a couple weeks back. We decided to put everything behind us and bring it back to when when were all close. So here we are now, day 3 in the studio, recording our second album! Really excited!
Of Mice & Men, Enter Shikari, and Lucero are the latest bands confirmed to play Warped Tour 2011.
Alternative Press is reporting that vocalist Austin Carlile has rejoined Of Mice & Men.
Carlile will replace vocalist Jerry Roush, who joined the band in April 2010. Additionally, guitarist Phil Manansala will be replaced with Carlile-collaborator Alan Ashby.
The band parted ways with Carlile in March 2010. According to Carlile, “the band said to management that they wanted me out because they felt I was lying about my heart condition, and how it limits my physical activity. They, and management alike, didn’t want someone in the band who is going to simply pick and choose tours.”
The reformed band will enter the studio this month with producer Joey Sturgis to record their second album.
Of Mice & Men, Sleeping With Sirens, I Set My Friends On Fire, Woe Is Me, and The Amity Affliction will tour together in March/April. Dates are below:
