With origins in neighboring Riverside, CA, the gents in the globally known rock outfit Alien Ant Farm have stood the test of time. From its inception in 1996, the group has performed at some of the largest festivals in the world, toured with the biggest rock acts in the industry, and has been featured in almost every teenage boy’s extreme sports video game. Although their fame has dwindled, the band continues to perform at some of the most intimate venues in Southern California. With the continued pandemic ravaging across America, the band organized a live stream in July from the legendary Whisky A Go-Go on the Sunset Strip and made our hearts, and our makeshift living room mosh pits ignite for one hell of a night. Yet sadly after the live stream ended the band inevitably went back into the darkness that is COVID. Yet don’t fret, they’ll be back and hopefully next time with a full house of fans. In the meantime, dig into our Q&A with guitarist Terry Corso and find out which songs have kept him sane during the quarantine.
HOW IS QUARANTINE LIFE?
Quarantine life is challenging to say the least. There's a lot of time to get to know yourself and think too much.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO KEEP YOURSELF OCCUPIED AT HOME?
No matter how much I tell myself that I enjoy being alone and focused on music, art, or even household projects, I find myself in desperate need of some release and/or outlet of pent-up energy.
LET US KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PLAYLIST YOU'VE COMPILED FOR US!
I can't get that energy out on stage right now so I'm grateful for music that hits hard emotionally and I think my playlist reflects those songs that are currently helping me deal with current affairs, social climates, and personal feelings.
