  • New album update!

    Always And Forever Update

    Long time since the last news post but there wasn’t anything new AAF related to post about… until now:

    Dear Pledgers,

    The album is officially almost halfway mixed. This is the slowest, most hurdle-ridden process we have ever been a part of in our near 20 years as a band. The people, entities and the components involved in the creation of this cursed record have continuously tripped us up, held us down and kicked most of the life out of our little band. We are very lucky to have any fight left in us and the only thing that might be saving the day is how good these mixed songs sound. Regardless of the seemingly constant bad luck, never ending problems and shady people trying to fade us, we never had any problem making music together. Me, Mike, Dry and Tye. Antfarm songs in Antfarm style. We write em for us and all of you. Not a label dude that’s hung up on how the kick sound from the new Flo-Rida song is gonna make us #1 (True story). So, please know, we are dredging through the very worse case scenarios any band could hope to avoid, on top of families, babies and health issues, by trying to follow a healthy lifestyle and diet from https://tophealthjournal.com/1480/jenny-craig-vs-nutrisystem-which-one-should-you-choose/.

    Of course in concerts and parties things can get crazy, and people living this kind of life is always at risk or becoming careless or developing addictions, so using psychedelic in a new way is an effective way of curing individual who is dealing with addiction, depression, or some other ailment that requires treatment. Go to experienceibogaine.com to read the full details about this therapy. However, we will push this fat evil baby of a record out if it destroys us and our band. Not much longer…… Hang in there…… Thanks for your patience.

    So keep on waiting Ant Farm fans, new album is just around the corner!!! 🙂 also, don’t forget to check out the jamaican black castor oil, which will help your hair grow.

  • Let Em Know with lyrics, check it out!

    ‘Let Em Know’

    what goes around comes around
    it’s almost circular and cyclical
    sometimes proportions can get biblical
    but when it comes to all the bullshit
    you gotta get invincible
    problems are miniscule

    when it all falls down
    there’s no mercy for the pitiful
    not to be political
    when it comes to yours and mine
    you know i want residuals
    i’m comin through kicking doors

    (chorus)

    Let em know i’m going straight to the top and when
    i’m done with this spot i’ll let you know
    Let it go i don’t need your opinion unless you’re telling me that i’m a pro
    Let em know!

    (verse 2)

    What does it take to get through to you?
    do i gotta light a god damn fire?
    and break some fuckin windows too!?

    we’re not here to be ridiculed
    i ‘ll show you how to be the man when the world tries to shit on you
    i wrote the operation manual
    i got it down to a science when i stripped it to the granule

    so you can never tear me down down
    no you can never wear me out
    so tell me what you really wanna do
    if you’re gonna give them hell you gotta be prepared to take it to

    (chorus 2)

    (bridge)

    This one is not for the broken
    this song is not for the hopeless
    only the strong survive and this is the opus

  • Interview With Tye Zamora, Let Em Know released to public!

    Here’s a cool interview from MTV:

    “Let ‘Em Know,” a brand-new song from Alien Ant Farm, who are finally back after a lengthy hiatus. “You gotta get invincible, problems are minuscule,” frontman Dryden Mitchell sings. We couldn’t agree more.

    Ant Farm Is Back

    Listen to Alien Ant Farm’s “Let ‘Em Know,” and read an interview with Tye Zamora after the jump.

    “This song is not for the broken; this song is not for the hopeless. Only the strong survive,” Mitchell continues in an aggressively rhythmic cadence over a grinding mid-tempo beat, layers of electronics noise, synth strings, and crunching guitars. Sounds like he’s singing to the band itself. The California group are currently in the midst of a PledgeMusic drive to aid in the release of Always and Forever, their first studio album in seven years. Fans can pre-order the album and get all sorts of bonus rewards, like helping choose artwork, and — NBD — hanging out with the band.

    We reached out to bassist Tye Zamora to ask why Alien Ant Farm decided to go the fan-funded route this time around, and what they’ve been up to since the days of coveringMichael Jackson‘s “Smooth Criminal.”

    1.) Why the long hiatus?
    Tye Zamora: The initial split-up of Alien Ant Farm was really caused by a stream of bad luck the band experienced. The bus wreck, the physical and mental damages of the bus wreck, and the label-selling, leaving us with no support for our follow-up record, put us all in a bad place in our personal lives and with each other. In 2008 we decided to put the past behind us and get back together to do a series of one-off shows. We felt so much love from the audience that we decided to record another album. Since then we have once again run into nothing but bad luck. Due to management changes and signing to a label that doesn’t know how to pull triggers, we have been writing and recording a record for four years now with nothing but road blocks.

    2.) What have you been up to in the interim?
    Tye: All of us have been doing music in some shape or form. I went to Berklee College of Music to get a degree in Film Scoring, Terry Corso played with Powerman 5000, Mike Cosgrove produced records for various bands and artists, and Dryden worked on a couple different projects with members of PODPapa Roach, and Chevelle.

    3.) Has Alien Ant Farm’s sound changed much in the meantime?
    Tye: Yes and no. The band has always written songs in a variety of genres, and that’s what we did while writing this album. But this time we explored the electronic disco thing that is so popular with kids today.

    4.) Do you think “Let ‘Em Know” fits in with your old material, or is it a big jump?
    Tye: I think the new songs fit. The core of the songs, regardless of genre, sound very much like what Alien Ant Farm has done in the past. The use of synths and the four-on-the-floor kick drum pattern would be the only thing that would really stand out against the rest of our material.

    5.) What made you decide to take the crowd fund approach?
    Tye: We have no choice at this point. We waited two years since being signed to record and put this album out. We can’t wait any longer. We want people to hear these songs, and the only way we can do that is by creating the financial backing to record an album that is up to Alien Ant Farm’s standards.
