Antarctigo Vespucci is an indie rock band composed of Chris Farren of Fake Problems and of Bomb the Music Industry.
Farren and Rosenstock began recording as a band in early 2014 with their debut EP Soulmate Stuff, with Benny Horowitz of The Gaslight Anthem on drums. They released their first full-length, Leavin' La Vida Loca, in 2015.
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."
