Alien
Ant Farm are set to make a highly anticipated return with
their second album, ‘truANT’,
the follow up to 2001’s million selling ‘ANThology’.
Following the tragic bus crash at
the end of last year’s
European tour, the band took to the studio at the earliest
opportunity. Joining Dryden (vocals), Terry (guitar), Tye
(bass) and Mike (drums) were Dean and Robert DeLeo, otherwise
known as the guitar and bass half of Stone Temple Pilots,
who watched over the production duties on ‘truANT’.
‘These Days’, along with ‘Rubber Mallet’,
and ‘1000 Days’ are good old fashioned crunching
rock tracks, while first single ‘Glow’ is sure
to be an instant sing-along anthem. It’s due for release
in October, while ‘These Days’ will go to radio
around the album release date.
The band have already played several
shows in the US with more to come in August. These will
be followed by three confirmed
UK dates. The first will be at London’s Mean Fiddler
on Tuesday August 19th (tickets £10) with appearances
at the Reading Festival (Fri 22nd Aug) and Leeds Festival
(Sat 23rd Aug) shortly after.
The band are understandably feeling
apprehensive about the upcoming touring schedule, and speaking
on the subject Dryden
states: "It does seem pretty scary at times. I know
it's really unlikely anything will happen. Lightning doesn't
strike in the same place twice, but you never know."
‘ANThology’, Alien Ant Farm’s debut album
proved a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic. In the US
it sold over 1.8million copies while in the UK it reached
the 250,000 mark, helped along the way by the huge hit singles ‘Smooth
Criminal’ and ‘Movies’.
