Richard Patrick, Filters (hybrid) driving force, is frustrated. With one man down (the Webmaster of a fan site), and an ex-band member currently on the frontline in Iraq, whats going on in the Middle East is less remote for him than for most. So, while supporting our troops, hes speaking out against the war, but feels his cries of protest on Filter's May 2008 album release Anthems For The Damned are lost on a nation that downloads everything and values little.
Great interview, Filter is definitely one of my favourite bands from the 90's and one of the few that didn't disappoint me with their comeback. Though I'm looking forward to the next step for this band, a return to the industrial rock sounds of Short Bus would be interesting.
