After massive amounts of hype and anticipation, Of Mice & Men blew all expectations out of the water with their early 2010 self-titled debut, selling over 75,000 copies to date. They didn't skip a beat with their follow up album - The Flood, selling over 15,000 units in its first week and another 9k in the first week of the deluxe reissue version. The Flood has currently scanned over 130,000 units. They've spent the majority of the last few years supporting large artists such as A Day To Remember, August Burns Red, Bring Me The Horizon, As I Lay Dying and more. They've also headlined Warped Tour as well as sold out tours in the US, UK & Australia. Of Mice & Men went in the studio with producer David Bendeth (Paramore, Breaking Benjamin, Bring Me The Horizon) to record their 3rd full length, RESTORING FORCE. The album does exactly that, it restores the band as a massive force in the scene that they've thrived in for the past years, but beyond that it showcases the band's growth as both songwriters and performers. Frontman Austin Carlile returns and gives his most brutal and honest performance to date while clean singer, Aaron Pauley, who is making his Of Mice & Men debut, truly shines and will become a star in his own right. The band will hit the road immediately after the release, spending the entire spring on the road with Bring Me The Horizon and Issues as well as performing as a headliner on Warped Tour, etc. In making "Restoring Force" the band has created an album that will please the large hard-rock, mosh-happy fan base that they've accrued over the years, while also allowing them to continue growing and appealing to a wider and wider audience.
