Antarctigo Vespucci is an American indie rock band, formed in 2014. The band is composed of punk musicians Chris Farren and Jeff Rosenstock.[1]
The band explains their name as a joke: "Amerigo Vespucci is the guy who discovered America so it stands to reason that Antarctigo Vespucci would be the guy who discovered Antarctica."[2][3]
In an interview with Uproxx, the band explained that their creative process when making a new Antarctigo Vespucci album typically begins with demos from Farren. According to the duo, Rosenstock will pick out the demos that stick out to him the most, then the two will collaborate on the finished product.[4] In a 2019 Reddit AMA, Farren explained, "The difference between Chris Farren songs and AV songs is Jeff Rosenstock produces the AV songs. And a lot of the times in AV we will completely deconstruct a song and build it back up for fun."[5]
