NOW PLAYING: Someday Came Suddenly (RISE; riserecords.com)
THE STORY SO FAR: While on tour with Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster last November somewhere in Florida, the members of Attack Attack! stopped at a Hot Topic on the release day of their first album, Someday Came Suddenly. "We were pretty stoked," says drummer Andrew Wetzel. Considering that the screamo band had come together only a year earlier-and just days before Someday dropped (and in the middle of their tour), they fired their original vocalist due to personal reasons, Attack Attack! (along with new screamer Nick Barham) needed the positivity. "We took pictures of our CD and sent them to our parents."
WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: Attack Attack! don't ease their way into the ears of their listeners-they beat their way in. "Hot Grills And High Tops" hits nasty trancecore synths while songs like "Stick Stickly" plunge into the depths of the darkest post-hardcore. If it sounds like an odd mish-mash, there's a reason: The group decided to throw metal, pop-punk and electronic music together in a sound fitting of their moniker. "We all couldn't decide on one style of music to write," says Wentzel. "And none of us really wanted to do that anyway."-Kelly Delaney

Finally, they're getting the attention they deserve. Love them; One of the best bands ever. Not only is their music amazing and sick, the band members themselves are real, genuine, fun, good guys. Thank you putting them here.
i saw them in toledo a while ago. they were really good and had awesome stage presence
Love these guys! One of the reasons i started listening to screamo...If you like them you should listen to Fermium From Centerburg,Ohio!
their new music veido for STICK STICKLY is sickk! i luvv em : )
I used to see them like every other weekend in mansfield, ohio. They played at the Pheonix. Thoughs were the good days!
You should have left the sounds like to feature only Sky Eats Airplane and Enter Shikari cause these guys rip off their style so much. not to mention that the breakdowns are mighty old and their music is kinda fucking retarded and gay. it's good that Fox News ripped on these guys and embarassed them
<3 AA! is amazing. into/transition from Hot Grills and High Tops to Stick Stickly is outstanding.
Read their lyrics! They're Christian and their lyrics freaking pwn. I love it :D
I'm so excited there finally getting publicity with AP! This band is absolutely amazing and will always be. If you ever have the chance go see them live, its unbelievable! Love AA!
