Alien Ant Farm
Riverside, California's Alien Ant Farm rode their genre-bending cover of Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal' to mainstream success in 2001, but the band's original material was far more adventurous than that hit suggested. Their debut 'ANThology' blended nu-metal riffs with funk, punk, and alternative rock in unpredictable ways. Frontman Dryden Mitchell's acrobatic stage presence and eclectic vocal style set them apart from the heavier acts they toured alongside.
