Attack Attack! are a metalcore/post-hardore band formed in Columbus, Ohio in 2005. The original lineup consisted of Austin Carlile, Ricky Lortz, Nick White, Andrew Wetzel, and Andrew Whiting. Caleb Shomo joined the band as their keyboardist and Johnny Franck joined as rhythm guitarist and clean vocalist. Nick White left the band soon afterward and John Holgado became their new bassist.

The band's musical style consists of mainly metalcore and post-hardcore with elements of electronic music mixed in. The main electronic elements include some usage of Auto-Tune, synth and keyboard playing, and techno-based breakdowns. In early 2008 Attack Attack! self-released their debut EP, If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords? and later signed to Rise Records to release their debut full-length album, Someday Came Suddenly. The album peaked at #25 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart and #193 on the Billboard 200 with sales of over 3,600 in its first week.

Halfway through a tour supporting Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, vocalist Austin Carlile was fired by the band due to personal differences. He was replaced by Nick Barham, former vocalist of For All We Know. On October 19, 2009, Barham announced his departure from the band just two days short of their headlining tour. Caleb Shomo this time took over lead vocals while still performing as their keyboardist. ...show less
