Ahead of their upcoming Noise Presents tour with Nothing More, Badflower and Palisades, metalcore vets Of Mice & Men have just debuted a brand new hard-hitting track titled “How To Survive.”
Providing some insight behind the track, vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley opened up about the serious single stating, “‘How to Survive’ is an anthem for those who have been the receiving end of unmerited and targeted hatred and abuse. 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. 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."
