OF MICE & MEN have today premiered the title track from the forthcoming album 'Defy'. Talking on new single frontman Aaron Pauley says “To Defy means to challenge the power of; resist boldly or openly. Our song 'Defy' is all about digging your heels in, and being defiant towards feelings of hopeless, and defining yourself in the process”.
The single lays the foundation for one of 2018's most anxiously awaited rock records from vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley, guitarist Alan Ashby, drummer Valentino Arteaga, and guitarist Phil Manansala— their new album Defy, is arriving in stores and online January 19, 2018. Pre-order it HERE.
Album 'Defy' was produced by Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, Skillet, The All-American Rejects) and mixed by Chris Lord Alge (Green Day, Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown, Rise Against).
Of Mice & Men have previously teased the forthcoming album with singles "Unbreakable" and "Back to Me" and "Warzone". Those songs have clocked over 7 million Spotify streams and 5 million YouTube/VEVO views in six months. Loudwire described the new material as "soaring," while Billboard, Alternative Press, and more featured the tracks.
Over the course of nearly a decade, Of Mice & Men have steadily risen to the top of the genre's ranks, hitting No. 1 on Billboard's Rock and Independent Charts and No. 4 on the genre-spanning Top 200.
