Ex-Of Mice & Men frontman Austin Carlile has been battling Marfan Syndrome extremely hard lately, which most recently resulted in a failed emergency surgery. Carlile quit Of Mice & Men in late 2016, and while he's been constantly in and out of hospitals and surgeries, has found time to kick up a new project.
Not much is known about the project except for the below small teaser Carlile posted from the hospital. It seems like it's much more mellow and pop than Of Mice & Men, though that's to be expected.
