TFP Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Their new 5 track EP, cleverly titled E.P. Phone Home is available to backers today. Listening to it now, I like "Better Weather," "Dirty Bomb," and "High On The Horizon (Demo)" Rambo, do you have access to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, I just downloaded them. I'm gonna check them out as soon as the podcast I'm listening to is over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 These songs are all fucking great. I love how loud and crunchy the bass is. Ugh, why won't they just press this on a damn clear blue 7"!? I'd buy the shit out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 How do you feel about "Homage" though? I kind of don't like it.... I could see it being easily digestible to the general public (the same with Let Them Know, which reminds me a lot of the Smashing Pumpkins - Adore), it's not my personal favorite or necessarily something I'll listen to often but it doesn't offend me, the other tracks hold their weight and I think this EP is a good demonstration of their talent and how they can pretty much do anything they want.

tetsuodaironman Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Did anyone get their copy of Anthology that they paid for a year ago, lol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Did anyone get their copy of Anthology that they paid for a year ago, lol? Nope....they like to use the excuse that items cannot be shipped until the actual new record comes out. And we FINALLY have a release month. Supposedly it is coming in January 2015.

Would be a great $10 find in a used record shop, but $50...wow. I don't even know how to justify the price tag on that quality of music.

TFP Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm actually pretty bummed by this news and I just wrote the team today and asked for an update. The AAF team handled this pretty terribly and the band told me that right in the middle of the whole thing they were going through new management changes, again, that was hurting everything.

TFP Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 At least we're getting a refund. Hope it doesn't take 2 years. HA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm not going to lie. I'd buy the shit out of anthology. That was my 8th/9th grade jam. I loved AAF until I met the lead singer drunk (he was a dick), but I still liked 'em after that. Bummed that this may not see day light ever. In theory, this idea seemed #focused. In reality is was #wrong...#wrong...#somethingaboutrain #rainydayvibes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Gotta say I wonder if they ever were getting pressed. If they were, they'd have paid for them, and if they had they'd never be able to afford refunding them all. Whole thing has been a bit of a mess really, and they weren't that great when I saw them a few weeks ago, but I'd love that album on vinyl. When I talked to the guys back in April, they said there was initial confusion and their team thought the pledegs were to press Always And Forever and Dryden was like "No, the money is for ANThology and Greatest Hits" So up until last month the guys were trying to get the albums pressed and did not know how labor intensive it is and they were trying to find "connections" to help speed up the process. I have been writing and keeping in touch with the PledgeMusic group and AAF team for the last year and a half saying- "guys, I know the alubm isn't out yet, but you need to begin pressing the vinyl records - that takes a long time....etc...." I kept on them about it and no one cared and in this meantime they were changing management again and things got really screwed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept on them about it and no one cared and in this meantime they were changing management again and things got really screwed up. I honestly think they don't understand the "marketplace" these days. A "record label owner" had mentioned in the past that he reached out to them several times to press at least their first album and their management would always give him the run around. I backed out of my pledge when they started delaying the recording, they still sent me a CD copy. This album isn't bad, but they definitely threw a few ultra radio friendly tracks on it. With that said, Sympatico is easily one of the best songs they've ever written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyte30351 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I've loved AAF since back in '99. Would love their first three albums, especially truANT on vinyl. Still gotta check out thier new jam. Really wish their bus accident and label mismanagement early on hadn't crushed their career, and it looks like more of the same now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rottengoth Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Sorry on bumping an old thread but there’s this. https://nailcityrecord.com/collections/record/products/alien-ant-farm-smooth-criminal-green-or-purple I just got it in and I guess it’s a new recording of it. Not bad but the original was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 $16 plus shipping for a 7". What a time to be alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
