La Dispute

[midnightmixtape-blog]

It’s different, it’s fun, it’s still the Of Mice And Men that everybody loves but we just fine-tuned it I guess and did more of what we kind of wanted to do all along. We just slipped right into it and it feels natural, it’s heavy and it’s fun and it’s still emotional. If you like Of Mice And Men already you won’t be disappointed...

Austin Carlile on the new Of Mice And Men material out later this year. See the full interview here.

Interview: Austin Carlile, Of Mice And Men

Times have been chaotic for Of Mice And Men since their formation in 2009, but it seems no amount of line-up changes and health scares will keep this band down. They hit the studio last month and announced that co-vocalist Shayley Bourget would no longer be part of the band, leaving frontman Austin Carlile to take over all vocal duties. So how are they doing now? And what can we expect from their new material? We sat down with Austin to find out.

We asked Austin some of your questions, see the full interview here!

With three well-selected, solid support acts, this is set to be one hell of a show. Opening act With One Last Breath have done enough to stir the crowd's interest and the room is packed as Japanese electro-hardcore band Crossfaith burst onstage. An unexpected treat, the hugely enthusiastic band get (almost) everyone the room completely off their feet and jumping along to their catchy, heavy beats and hardcore drawls...

Canadian post-hardcore boys Dead And Divine have announced that the band are calling it a day, posting a note on their Facebook.
