No, it’s not like the movies… it’s even better. We’re talking to Dryden Mitchell of Alien Ant Farm on Season 04, Episode 13 of “Load-In Through the Back.”

Since bursting onto the alternative rock scene in the early 2000s with hits like “Movies” and their iconic take on Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal,” California rockers Alien Ant Farm have been a mainstay of festival lineups and radio programming for nearly three decades. 

Dryden joins us remotely to discuss the grey area between Sade and SLAYER, how bus tours broke the band, tour buy-on’s, finding your authentic voice, and denouncing self-doubt. 

AAF recently released a brand-new single entitled “Reasons” via Judge and Jury Records. The 25th Anniversary Edition of their breakthrough album “ANThology” is also available for purchase at AlienAntFarm.com
