History
Formation (2007)
Attack Attack! formed in 2007 when Johnny Franck, Andrew Whiting, Nick White and Andrew Wetzel met Austin Carlile while playing in local high school bands.[5]Caleb Shomo joined the band as the keyboardist, and they changed the name to Attack Attack![2] The band entered a local studio where they recorded material that was put up on Myspace to promote their music.[5] As the oldest member of the band, Wetzel also acted as their manager for most of the year. The band was taken on by manager Eric Rushing of The Artery Foundation who signed them to Rise Records in May 2008.[5] As members of the band were still underage at this point, contractual discussions required parental consent.[5] The material recorded in 2007 was put together on the EP If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords? (2008).[6] The band was also signed by booking agent David Shapiro of the Agency Group that resulted in nationwide tours.[5]
In November 2008, they released their debut studio album, Someday Came Suddenly, on Rise.[7][8] Many songs on the album were re-recorded tracks originally released on the If Guns Are Outlawed EP. The album debuted at number 193 on the Billboard 200, with sales of more than 3,600 in its first week despite its mediocre reviews.[9] The album also peaked at number nine on the BillboardIndependent Albums chart.[10] The album has sold 70,000 copies as of April 2010.[11]
Attack Attack! released a music video for their debut single "Stick Stickly" in June 2009.[17] The video has led to a number of criticisms, including lengthy pieces by Buddyhead and the British newspaper The Guardian.[18][19] It also lead to the creation of the internet meme "crabcore" mocking the "crab-like" stance of Attack Attack!'s guitarist Andrew Whiting featured in the music video.[20][21][22] The band also released a live video for their second single, "Dr. Shavargo Pt. 3" in August 2009.[23] The group was featured on Punk Goes Pop Volume Two, covering the song "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry.[24] The song garnered heavy radio airplay.[25]
In October 2009, the group embarked on a headlining tour with I Set My Friends on Fire.[26] However, on October 19, lead vocalist Nick Barham announced his departure from Attack Attack! just two days short of their headliner tour, he stated in his blog on MySpace that "It was just time for change," and that there was no conflict between him and the other band members.[27] The band then made the decision of Shomo to be moved as the band's primary vocalist but still remaining at his place as the keyboardist as well.[28]
Self-titled album and Franck's departure (2010–2011)
The group toured with Breathe Carolina, I See Stars, Asking Alexandria, and Bury Tomorrow on the Artery Foundation Across The Nation Tour in March 2010.[29] In April 2010, Wetzel confirmed that ten tracks would appear on their upcoming second studio album.[30] The album was initially titled Shazam, but due to copyright issues, it was self-titled.[31] The album's lead single, "Sexual Man Chocolate", was released on May 16, 2010. On May 25, the group released, "Smokahontas" as the second single from the album.[32] Their self-titled second studio album was released on June 8, 2010. The album sold 15,000 copies in its first week,[33] debuting at number 27 on the Billboard 200.[34] The album also topped the Billboard Independent Albums chart.[10] They headlined the This Is a Family Tour in November 2010 with support from Emmure, Pierce the Veil, In Fear and Faith, and Of Mice & Men.[35]
On November 10, 2010, Johnny Franck announced he had departed from the band to focus on his relationship with God.[36] He has started a new project called The March Ahead.[37] With this news also came a clip of a new song featuring Shomo on lead vocals.[36] The music video for "Smokahontas" was released on January 21, 2011, and was directed by Thunder Down Country films.[38] It is the last video to feature Johnny Franck and also includes appearances from Sean Mackowski of My Ticket Home and former vocalist of In Fear And Faith Cody Anderson.[39]
In June 2011, the band released a new single, "Last Breath" from the deluxe edition of their self-titled album.[40] On July 18, 2011, the group premiered a new track titled, "Criminal", which appeared on the deluxe edition of their second studio album.[41] On July 19, the group re-issued their second studio album which features new artwork and eight bonus tracks.[42] The group performed at Warped Tour in the summer of 2011.[43] In September 2011, the group was set to join Sum 41 on their South American tour before it was cancelled due to vocalist Deryck Whibley's ongoing medical condition.[44]

The band announced in 2012 their departure from Rise Records, simultaneous with an announcement that they have completed ten songs, produced by John Feldmann, for another album, although Wetzel said on his formspring "they're somewhere in Feldmann's hard drive" for they "would be too much work legally to get them released." The band stated that they "don't have another record label or anything lined up and [are] probably not planning on going to another one", also that Wetzel "has [his] own label now [Oxide Entertainment] and will probably just use that."[54] The band headlined the This World Is Ours Tour with Escape The Fate and the Word Alive.[55]
On December 13, 2012, bassist John Holgado announced his departure from the band.[56] Days later on December 18, Caleb Shomo officially announced his departure from Attack Attack!,[57] along with confirming the new vocalist of the band to be Phil Druyor of I Am Abomination.[58] Shomo cited mental health issues as a reason for his departure.[59] He went on to form Beartooth that same year.[60]
