On this episode of The Mixtape, we're joined by Dryden Mitchell, frontman of the platinum-selling alt-rock band Alien Ant Farm. Best known for their explosive cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal”, Dryden reflects on the song’s unexpected success and how it became a defining moment in the band’s career.
We catch up with Dryden fresh off Alien Ant Farm’s tour of Australia, where the energy is still electric—but these days, he’s more likely to be found swinging a golf club than throwing back shots. He shares how his outlook on life and touring has evolved, trading parties for peaceful mornings on the green.
And of course, it wouldn’t be The Mixtape without diving into musical influences. Dryden builds his imaginary six-track mixtape, selecting the songs that inspired him as a vocalist, writer, and performer.
🎶 From behind-the-scenes tour stories to the tracks that shaped his sound, this episode is a nostalgic and refreshingly honest ride with one of early 2000s rock’s most unforgettable voices.
Dryden picks some surprising choices for his mixtape, which you can hear here:
