Alien Ant Farm

The SoCal alt-metal foursome Alien Ant Farm formed in 1996 with the raging singer/songwriter Dryden Mitchell, guitarist Terry Corso, bassist Tye Zamora, and drummer Mike Cosgrove. All were bored with their day jobs and sought something else to break them from corporate norms. Music allowed them to freely express themselves, and a friendship was born. They independently released their quirky debut, Greatest Hits, toward the end of the ’90s and soon enough noise surrounded the band. It won the award for Best Independent Album at the 1999 L.A. Music Awards and Alien Ant Farm found themselves striking a deal with Papa Roach’s New Noize, which is partners with DreamWorks.

Eternal Boy are a nostalgic, heartfelt pop-punk trio from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who draw influence from the heyday of the Drive-Thru Records era. The bands first release, “Awkward Phase,” was produced by Chris Badami (The Starting Line, Early November) and released via Four Chord Music. The album charted on 5 of the Billboard charts including the #1 Heatseeker album, #9 Vinyl albums, and a spot in the top 50 in Rock Albums, Alternative Albums and more. Their previous album, “Bad Days Are Over,” was produced by Chris Badami and Mastered by Ted Jensen (Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, Sum 41) and spent 4 weeks in the Billboard top 100 albums. The bands junior record, “Little Room to Breathe,” is out now.
