Biography :

Alien Ant Farm is an American rock band formed in Riverside, California in 1995 by childhood friends. The band's name was inspired by original guitarist Terry Corso's daydream about aliens seeding the Earth with entities from other dimensions. Over the years, Alien Ant Farm has achieved great success, selling over 5 million units worldwide as of summer 2018.

After self-releasing two EPs, Alien Ant Farm released their first full album, Greatest Hits, on Chick Music Records. The album featured the original recordings of two future hits, "Movies" and a cover of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal." Their cover of "Smooth Criminal" became an international smash hit, reaching the top 30 in fifteen countries. The band's success led to them touring with popular acts like Linkin Park and Papa Roach, as well as headlining their own MTV Fall Tour.

In 2003, Alien Ant Farm released their album Truant and toured Europe with Metallica. The album's lead single, "These Days," was a minor hit in the US, while the follow-up single "Glow" reached #5 in New Zealand. However, their label, Geffen Records, shelved the band's fourth album, leading Alien Ant Farm to bootleg it and sell copies to fans. Eventually, the album was released on a different label owned by Universal.

Despite facing challenges with their record label, Alien Ant Farm continued to tour and release music. They reunited in 2008 after a brief breakup and went on to release their fifth album, Always And Forever, in 2015. The band has participated in various tours, including Make America Rock Again in 2016 and the Gen-X Summer Tour in 2018.

During the Covid-19 quarantine in 2020, Alien Ant Farm released a cover of Wham's "Everything She Wants," along with a music video featuring cameos from famous musicians. The band continues to tour and create music, showcasing their unique sound and energetic performances to audiences around the world.
