Of Mice & Men is the debut studio album by American rock band Of Mice & Men. It was originally planned to be released on February 23, 2010, but was delayed until March 9.

Background

[edit]

Of Mice & Men began progress on their self-titled debut shortly after demo session recordings. The group was signed to Rise within lead vocalist Austin Carlile's acknowledgment that the previous group he was a part of, Attack Attack!, were signed to label upon his membership. The album was officially announced by Austin Carlile on the band's YouTube channel on December 23, 2009,[2] and is currently available on SmartPunk,[3] MerchNOW,[4] and InterPunk.[5] Shortly after the album's release Carlile left the band and Jerry Roush took his position on unclean vocals. After Warped Tour 2010, Jaxin Hall left the band to improve his home life and work on his clothing company, Love Before Glory. Jerry was with Of Mice & Men up to the This Is a Family Tour with label mates Attack Attack!. After this, Carlile was invited and returned to the band again with Roush fired. Austin Carlile was working on a side project with Alan Ashby at the time, so when he was invited back, he said that he and Alan were a package deal. Alan was put on rhythm guitar and Shayley Bourget was moved to bass, but he was still doing clean vocals. Music videos were made for the songs "Those in Glass Houses" and "Second & Sebring".[6]
