In preparation for Revolver’s March 15 Raw Power Management/The Agency Group SXSW showcase in Austin, Texas, we asked Of Mice & Men’s Austin Carlile to list his five favorite barbecue foods.

Here goes!

01. Beef Brisket: Sliced or chopped, pink around the edges, nice and tender, smoked, perfect! Sandwich or by itself. And don’t forget the pickles on the side!

02. Pulled Pork: Throw some on a bun with some cole slaw on top and you have yourself one of my favorite sandwiches.

03. Pork Ribs: What’s BBQ food without fall-off-the-bone ribs? I like dry rub ribs as well!

04. Potato Salad: Leave the skins on, use some red garden potatoes. One of my favorite BBQ side dishes!

05. Corn Bread: Everyone claims their mom made it best. Mine actually did. A little sweet, maybe served with some homemade molasses as well. With a wash back of tea? Heaven.

5. Stone Sour, House of Gold & Bones, Part 1
“Corey Taylor is one of my most respected vocalists. This album solidifies that statement so well. It’s amazing!”

4. Converge, All We Love We Leave Behind
“It’s Converge, must I say more? I love how they brought back some of the older sounds with this album. Converge never fails me.”

3. Bruce Springsteen, Wrecking Ball
“Can’t always be banging my head. I love driving around southern California with the widows down listening to this record. Or a Corona and lime on the back porch in the sun. Bruce has still got it!”

2. Mumford & Sons, Babel
“One of my favorite bands since early 2009. Mumford did it again with their new stuff. Really cannot get enough of this band.”

1. Lamb of God, Resolution
“This album is massive! So heavy and driving as they do best, and Randy Blythe sounds so damn angry. Hats off to them on this awesome record!”

Upon the announcement of the tour, Of Mice & Men vocalist Austin Carlisle and drummer Valentino Arteaga, collectively shared their anticipation:

“We’re very happy to announce Of Mice & Men headlining the Monster Energy Outbreak tour! We couldn’t be more excited to team up with such a phenomenal company and lineup of bands as well! We think this tour will be much more of an experience rather than just coming out to another show, so do not miss this tour!”

Of Mice & Men will also be providing an exclusive insight into all the action on the tour, both onstage and offstage, with their tour diary. Check back to Revolvermag.com during the run for regular postings from the headliners.
