Welcome to Episode 220
Today we chat with Dryden Mitchell from Alien Ant Farm, ahead of the bands Australian Tour with Drowning Pool
Dryden drops by to talk about the tour, the bands history, as well as their amazing new album, Mantras which came out in 2024.It’s a great chat and everyone should check out the new album and you will see there is way more to Alien Ant Farm than just Smooth Criminal. Thanks to Dryden for his time, we appreciate it
Two decades after ALIEN ANT FARM topped the charts worldwide with their singles Movies and Smooth Criminal (#3 and #1 on Australian Charts, respectively), you still cannot visit a rock club or turn on rock radio without hearing those songs blasted; evoking joyful memories of a better time when rock music ruled the world and auto-tuned garbage was far off in the distant future.
As great as chart success may be, however, Alien Ant Farm’s enduring legacy derives from the seemingly endless catalogue of incredibly crafted and equally worthy alt metal anthems such as Yellow Pages, Homage, Godlike, Glow, Forgive & Forget, Last dAntz, etc. and of course, the energy, ferocity and dedication with which they deliver those songs in a live setting.
