Richard Patrick (vocals, guitars, basso, programing, drums) and Brian Liesegang (programing, guitars, keyboards, drums) both experimented with electronics early in their careers. Patrick was a member of the original touring incarnation of Nine Inch Nails. After NIN finished its extended first hitch in the early '90s, Patrick and Liesegang met through a mutual friend and began to track record industrial tilt together. Their debut album, Short Bus, released on Reprise in 1995, was recorded by the two at a minuscule house on the outskirts of Cleveland. Short Bus became a surprisal hit, thanks to the MTV and alternative wireless strike "Hey Man, Nice Shot"; by the conclusion of the summer, the album had reached gold position. In order to tour of duty behind the track record, the twosome recruited guitar player Geno Lenardo, bassist Frank Cavanaugh and drummer Matt Walker. Liesegang gone in 1997 o'er creative differences, just Patrick maintained the Filter name for 1999's Title of Record, which eventually went platinum and spawned some other radio/MTV hit in the single "Have a Picture." The album too included new drummer Steve Gillis after Walker left wing to exercise with the Smashing Pumpkins. Filter's third album, The Amalgamut, followed three years later, after which, the band went on a bit of a hiatus. Around 2005, Patrick proclaimed the formation of a new banding, Army of Anyone, which he created with quondam members of Stone Temple Pilots and David Lee Roth's touring dance orchestra.
