Alien Ant Farm

Southern California staples ALIEN ANT FARM formed in 1996 with the raging singer/songwriter Dryden Mitchell, guitarist Terry Corso, bassist Tye Zamora, and drummer Mike Cosgrove. All were bored with their day jobs and sought something else to break them from corporate norms. Music allowed them to freely express themselves, and a friendship was born. They independently released their quirky debut, Greatest Hits, toward the end of the '90s and soon enough noise surrounded the band. It won the award for Best Independent Album at the 1999 L.A. Music Awards.

Two years later they made their major-label introduction with ANThology, issued in March 2001. Debut single "Smooth Criminal" was a funky metal mix of Michael Jackson's original song, and pop kids of the TRL generation loved it. The song hit number one on the modern rock charts, and the album eventually went platinum. The song was recently profiled with the Los Angeles Times as it went viral again in 2022.

ALIEN ANT FARM is currently vocalist Dryden Mitchell, guitarist Terry M. Corso, drummer Mike Cosgrove, and bassist Timmy Pee. They have released five studio albums, and have sold over five million units worldwide. The band's latest album, ~mAntras~, comes after a nearly decade-long hiatus and finds ALIEN ANT FARM re-energized and ready to take on the world. ~mAntras~ is due out April 26, 2024.
