Austin Carlile Rejoins OM&M

2011-01-03 by andcas | 88 Comments
Of Mice & Men have let founding vocalist Austin Carlile back
in the band after opting to let go of Jerry Roush (Ex-Sky Eats
Airplane). They plan to hit the studio this month to record
their second full length album due out around summer of 2011.

Jerry Roush has issued a departing statement for the public:

“After sacrificing a year out of my life to keep a band afloat
and touring after they kicked out the original singer, I just
got a call informing me that they are bringing him back and my services were no longer
needed. They didn’t offer me a reason. I think it’s a little odd seeing how they all talked
epic amounts of shit on him the entire time. Anyway, I already have some new stuff up my
sleeve and I WILL NOT stop. This isn’t the last of Jerry Roush. Thanks to everyone who
supported me…keep a lookout!”

I don't really care if they're douches or not, I'm just glad Jerry is out of the band because he didn't fit with them at all. I'm not even that stoked about this news because they're not even that amazing, but either way, Austin belongs in this band.

The praise this band gets baffles me honestly, I mean this band is too overrated here, i mean almost like The Word Alive yet TWA is actually good. This band is gay, the vocals are the only good thing. Jerry needs to go back to Sky Eats Airplane.....a much better band than this one. Hell even their shitty ep is better than this band lol.

i started to again because of a previous news post about OM&M tour dates which soon turned into
Ausitin baby mama drama...

and i seriously don't understand why people like this dude, his screams give me a head ache, even went
back to AA!s first record and just as bad there,

their 2nd record is just as bad but with a screamer who doesn't make you find relief in the auto-tune
cleans...

Find me another person who can scream like Austin Carlile. I don't care how much of a douche he is, I don't have to make music or talk to him, just listen to the music he produces. Aynone in here who didn't dig Attack Attack!'s Someday Came Suddenely at some point is lying.

Also, he made of Mice & Men, the songs are based around his vocals, where as some bands focus more on guitars etc. JUST SUCKS HE WASNT THERE AT WARPED! COME BACK TO CANADA, can't wait for the new album.

Thats my rant.

... the majority of people on Sputnik have never at any point enjoyed Someday Came Suddenly.

Austins an average vocalist, a little bit monotonous for my taste (this coming from an August Burns Red fan).

My bet is Of Mice and Men are just desperate for the attention that comes with Austin as it does with any lead singer with a following (Mabbit, Owens etc). Was Roush that much of an asshole? I feel like im the only one who was excited about him being in the band

stop fighting about harsh vocalists. you are all stupid. they are all basically the same on the records because everything these rise bands puts out is so overproduced. shay's the only voice that matters anyway.

the reason that this is good news, at least to me, is because i'm pretty sure carlile and hall wrote 99% of the first record, so now at least one of them is back in the band.

also the fact that these bands can just have members swap roles shows how fucking replaceable their (instrumental/vocal) 'talent' is... lol like anybody ever actually hears the bass anyway...

well it's not like austin can keep up with his studio version live, he's constantly out of breath.

anyone can record a song and then have a break, at live shows endurance is left to be desired.

I had no idea Caleb Shomo is good singer or that he could sing at all That song sounded great.

Jerry just was terrible in OM&M. Has anyone listened to their "Blame It" cover with him? His screams just don't fit. Jerry
has good stage presence, but that's it. I saw him once when he was in Sky Eats Airplane and he was a total douche.

Also, compare how long Jerry holds the word "gold" in comparison to the video Ancas posted of Carlile.

remember he got kicked out FIRST because he couldn't cut it on tour and SECOND because he was a douchebag.

why would anybody ever want to see this band live lol

i think you might be one of the few sputnikers andcas :/

honeslty austin's scream is cool and unique, and i will always listen to the shit he puts out. but he's nothing like godly.

also andcas yes he can hold a long scream, but i'm talking about like a full set. he just runs out of breath all the time, misses lines, etc.

indeed, songs like They Don't Call It The South For Nothing or whatever is awesome,

i'd also really like to hear more intros like This One's For You or overall more shayley. Austin's great but shayley is equally good and they should take advantage of his unique vocals more.
