Austin Robert Carlile is an American vocalist. He was previously in metalcore band Attack Attack!, and post-hardcore band Of Mice & Men.

Personal life
Austin Carlile was born in Chalmette, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. In 2005, Carlile was forced to leave his Chalmette home due to Hurricane Katrina. His family settled in Dallas, Texas. Since April 2010, it is rumored that he is dating actress Selena Gomez.

Attack Attack! (2006–2009)
Carlile formed Attack Attack!, along with Nick White, Andrew Whiting, Ricky Lortz, Johnny Franck, and Andrew Wetzel in 2006 at the age of 15. He was featured on their debut EP, If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords?, and their debut album, Someday Came Suddenly. On November 18, 2008, merely a week after the release of the album, Carlile announced that "[he wasn't] in Attack Attack! anymore." When asked why, he merely responded with "personal things". This post also officially announced his then-new project, Of Mice & Men. Alternative Press reported that he was fired while the band was on tour.

Of Mice & Men (2009–2010)
On the same day that Austin announced that he wasn't in Attack Attack!, he officially announced the formation of his new project, Of Mice & Men with Jaxin Hall. The band recruited several members of already-existing bands, such as A Static Lullaby and Lower Definition. Their debut album was officially announced to be released on February 23, 2010 but was pushed back to March 9. According to Carlile's official Twitter, he will be performing guest vocals on Confide's second album on Tragic Hero Records. Austin has officially announced quitting Of Mice & Men. Carlile needed to have a heart surgery and was forced to not tour by his doctor. All at the same time Carlile came into contact with "issues" that prevented him from being able to tour full time. His heart condition is rumored to be associated with said issues. After much deliberation, the band and Carlile decided to part ways.
