Alien Ant Farm

Alien Ant Farm is an American rock band that originated in Riverside, California, in 1996. The band consists of four members: Dryden Mitchell (vocals, guitar), Terry Corso (guitar), Mike Cosgrove (drums), and Tim Peugh (bass). They gained fame in the early 2000s with their double platinum debut album "ANThology," which features their most famous cover of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal."

​

The band's name is an idea from Terry Corso, suggesting that aliens could have been the first to inhabit the earth, making humans the "ant farm." Their music style is a blend of alternative rock, post-grunge, and punk rock.

Despite several lineup changes and a hiatus between 2006 and 2008, Alien Ant Farm continues to produce music and tour. They have released five studio albums to date, with their latest, "Always and Forever," released in 2015. Their energetic performances and unique blend of rock styles have helped them maintain a loyal fan base over the years. Despite the ups and downs, Alien Ant Farm has made a significant mark in the rock music scene.
