As we told you in yesterday's digest Of Mice & Men have parted ways with vocalist Jerry Roush and have announced that they will reunite with original front man Austin Carlile. Today we learn that the reformed lineup will be heading into the studio in early January to record the follow up to their Rise Records self-titled debut.
Guitarist Alan Ashby, who had been working with Austin on a new project during his time apart from OM&M, has also officially joined the band. Shayley Bourget will now play bass and Alan will assume his position at guitar. Phil Manansala and Tino Arteaga remain on guitar and drums, respectively.
Starting March 10, Of Mice & Men will be headlining the 2011 Across The Nation Tour with guests Isetmyfriendsonfire, Sleeping With Sirens, Woe, Is Me and The Amity Affliction.
