Filter

Filter gained mainstream success in 1995 with the release of the industrial rock single "Hey Man, Nice Shot." Four years later, the band received even more attention for its ballad "Take My Picture," which is still heard frequently on rock radio. After taking a break in 2005, singer Richard Patrick formed a new band called Army of Anyone with Robert and Dean DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots fame.

Army of Anyone called in quits in 2007 and after Filter reunited, Patrick refocused his attention on their fourth record, Anthems for the Damned, which hit stores last week. Buzznet caught up with Patrick to get to know the man behind the Anthems. Behold Patrick's nerdy fetish, worst job experience, silly nicknames and why he should never go skiing again ...

The first Filter song in five years, "Soldiers of Misfortune" is streaming on the Official Filter MySpace!  CHECK IT OUT!
