Listen To Of Mice & Men's New Single, How To Survive

Happy Friday! Of Mice & Men have just unveiled a brand-new single, How To Survive.

"It's an anthem for those who have been the receiving end of unmerited and targeted hatred and abuse," says singer/bassist Aaron Pauley. "It's for the kid who was bullied, beat up, and ignored in school. It's for the teenager who was told that they'll never amount to anything and that their thoughts, feelings, and opinions don't matter to the world. It's for the person who has been told that they're worthless, useless, or not good enough, time and time again. It's for the person who's repeatedly been targeted by those who only seek to tear others around them down.

"This song is for them," he continues. "This song is for me. I am them, and I'm still standing. So, turn it up. Feel the rage. If you, too, are that person, you will know it well, and it will greet you like an old friend."

Last October, OM&M gave a pretty exciting update on plans for their new record – the follow-up to Defy – revealing they'd joined forces with producer Josh Wilbur (Trivium, Lamb Of God, Gojira).

"We're super pumped to be in the studio with Josh, as we're all big fans of his production and mix discography," Aaron enthused. "When we decided to go heavier with this album, Josh's was one of the first names to pop up — and I can tell you, we're a little over halfway done and it's sounding huge and heavy, heavenly and absolutely demonic, all rolled into one."

Exciting stuff…
