Austin Robert Carlile is an American musician. He was previously the lead vocalist for the bands Attack Attack! and Of Mice & Men. He is known for his large vocal range and high chirp-sounding screamed vocals.
Musical career history
Attack Attack! (2005–2009)
In 2005, Austin Carlile founded Attack Attack!, along with Nick White, Andrew Whiting, Ricky Lortz, Johnny Franck, and Andrew Wetzel in Westerville, Ohio. He was featured on their debut EP, If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords?, and their debut album, Someday Came Suddenly. On November 18, 2008, merely a week after the release of the album, Carlile announced that " in Attack Attack! anymore." When asked why, he merely responded with "personal things". Then we got ahold of Attack Attack and one of the band members said "We are a christian core band and he was not living the christian life style, and he was being rude to us band members. we will miss him, but its for the good of the band.". later, Austin officially announced his then-new project, Of Mice & Men. Alternative Press reported that he was fired while the band was on tour. we have not found out why though. we have been searching for a while.
Of Mice & Men (2009–2010)
On the same day that Austin announced that he wasn't in 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. Their debut album was officially announced to be released on February 23, 2010 but was pushed back to March 9. Carlile parted ways with Of Mice & Men for not being able to tour full time with the band due to his health.
Personal life
Carlile was born in Pensacola, Florida, but currently resides in San Jose, California with his wife, Gretta. They were married February 26, 2010 in a small ceremony, but plan to have a larger one within the near future. According to his MySpace profile, he is a Christian.
