From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
truANT is Alien Ant Farm's second album. It was released on August 8, 2003 by DreamWorks. The producers of the album were Stone Temple Pilots' guitarist and bassist Robert DeLeo and Dean DeLeo.
The music video for track "These Days" was filmed on a roof top across the street from the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. The surprise video shoot was shot during the 2003 BET Awards while numerous hip hop artists and rappers were arriving on the red carpet before the awards show. The video catches the reaction from many artists, including Nelly, Snoop Dogg, and Lil Kim (the former of which was also signed to DreamWorks).
The album art is based on the classic Pee-Chee brand school folder (no longer in production), featuring the faces of the band members.
