Of Mice & Men performing at the Vibes Event Center in San Antonio, Texas on October 14, 2017, with Aaron Pauley, Valentino Arteaga, Philip Manansala, and Alan Ashby.
Based out of Costa Mesa, California, hard-hitting, Steinbeck-loving metalcore outfit Of Mice & Men were formed in 2009 in Columbus, Ohio by Attack Attack! vocalist Austin Carlile and New Zealand-bred bass player Jaxin Hall. With a rotating cast of players featuring Carlile (lead vocals), Alan Ashby (rhythm guitar), Phil Manansala (lead guitar), Aaron Pauley (bass, vocals), and Valentino Arteaga (drums), the band released its eponymous debut long-player through Rise Records in 2010.Setlist for the show at the Vibes Event Center
Their sophomore effort, The Flood, dropped in 2011, with a deluxe reissue following a year later. The band brought in David Bendeth (Beartooth, Bring Me the Horizon, Crossfaith) to produce third LP Restoring Force, which was released in 2014. Their first live recording, Live at Brixton, appeared in May 2016. Their fourth studio effort, Cold World, arrived later that year, peaking inside the Top 40.
On December 30, 2016, Carlile announced that he would part ways with the band due to continued complications caused by his struggles with a rare genetic disorder. Pauley took over as vocalist and the band forged ahead, releasing the singles "Unbreakable" and "Back to Me."
