Filter

Filter is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Harry Nilsson, The Turtles, ZZ Top, Loser and Red Sun Rising.

They run in the same orbit as Stabbing Westward, Black Light Burns, Pitchshifter, Machines of Loving Grace and Local H, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Smashing Pumpkins, The Crystal Method, Black Light Burns, Stone Temple Pilots and Korn, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.

Background

Filter is an American rock band formed in 1993 in Cleveland, Ohio, by singer Richard Patrick, along with guitarist and programmer Brian Liesegang. The band was formed when Patrick desired to start his own band after leaving Nine Inch Nails as their touring guitarist. Their debut album, Short Bus (1995) received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), supported by the single "Hey Man Nice Shot". After the album, the band would go through the first of many lineup changes, leaving Patrick as the only consistent member across all releases.
