Austin Robert Carlile (born September 27, 1987) is an American musician from Pensacola, Florida. A graduate of Lehigh Senior High School, he was the lead vocalist for the band Attack Attack! and is currently the lead vocalist of the metalcore band Of Mice & Men.

Musical career

Attack Attack! (2007–08)

Carlile founded Attack Attack! in 2007 with Ricky Lortz, Andrew Whiting, Nick White, and Andrew Wetzel. On November 18, 2008, Carlile announced that "[he was no longer] in Attack Attack! anymore." When asked why, Austin responded with, "personal reasons". This post also officially announced his then-new project, Of Mice & Men.[1] Alternative Press reported that he was fired while the band was on tour.[2]

On the same day that Carlile announced that he was no longer a part of Attack Attack!, he officially announced the formation of his new project, Of Mice & Men, with Jaxin Hall (bassist). Their first release was "Seven Thousand Miles for What?". They also did a cover of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face", then soon after released "No Really, It's Fine". Soon after, Austin and Jaxin started to gather up the other members of the band. The band recruited several members of already-existing bands, such as Phil Manansala (lead guitarist) from A Static Lullaby, and Tino Arteaga (drummer) from Lower Definition.[1] Their self-titled debut album was officially announced to be released on February 23, 2010, but was delayed until March 9 for finishes on production.[3] In 2010, Austin was unable to tour with Of Mice & Men, because he needed to have major heart surgery, and his health prevented him from touring.[4][5][6][7] Jerry Roush from Sky Eats Airplane served as the tour replacement for Austin. Roush then became a permanent substitute, even after Carlile was able to tour again.[8][9][10] In September 2010, shortly after the departure of Craig Owens of Chiodos, rumours that Carlile would replace him circulated quickly, but were denied when Brandon Bolmer was announced as vocalist.[11] A fake tweet from Carlile's account was produced making it seem that Carlile would be joining Chiodos as vocalist.[12]

Carlile re-joined the band on January 3, 2011.[13]

In November 2012, after the death of Suicide Silence singer Mitch Lucker, Carlile appeared on Ending is the Beginning: The Mitch Lucker Memorial Show singing the song O.C.D.

In the early morning of March 30, 2013, Carlile was arrested with drum technician Loniel Robinson II, he was later charged with felonious assault.[14] The band missed two shows on the "Right Back at It Again" tour with A Day to Remember and Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! as a result. Carlile's mugshot was released two days later.[15] Carlile was released on bail and ordered not to have any contact with the victim.[16] On April 29, 2013, Carlie's original charge of felonious assault was reduced to misdemeanor assault by the judge, and he was subsequently found guilty. He was fined $1000 plus court expenses, although $800 of the fine was suspended.[17]

In June 2015 he underwent what was his "big and final" surgery at the heart. [18]
