Alien Ant Farm
Adrian Deevoy, Blender, November 2003
"BLENDER HATES us, man," slurs Dryden Mitchell, Alien Ant Farm's pained singer. This is pretty rich, considering that only this evening we have given him $848 (or its euro equivalent) to blow any way he and his band choose. "Some people in the media have wished us dead," he complains. "All we want is a little love. Why can't you just give us a little love, dude?"
