Attack Attack! is an American metalcore band from Westerville, Ohio. The group is currently signed to Rise Records. Since their inception in 2005, Attack Attack! have released one EP, If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords? and two full-length albums, Someday Came Suddenly and a self-titled album.

Although some of the group's earlier songs contain Christian-based lyrics, not all members of Attack Attack! follow the religion. As such, they do not consider themselves a Christian band.[1]Attack Attack! was founded in 2005 by members Austin Carlile, Ricky Lortz, Andrew Whiting, Nick White, and Andrew Wetzel as a primary metalcore group. As time went on, they added keyboard player Caleb Shomo. Several months later, Nick White announced his departure from the group and John Holgado was added on bass. In early 2008, they self-released their debut EP titled If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords?. Later they signed to Rise Records in June 2008 and released their debut album, Someday Came Suddenly, on the label late that year.[2] Someday Came Suddenly peaked at #25 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart and #193 on the Billboard 200,[3] with sales of more than 3,600 in its first week.[4]
