On The Tour Bus With FILTER (Video)
August 8, 2013Richard Patrick and Jonny Radtke of the modern rock band FILTER are featured in the latest episode of "Bus Invaders". Shot on June 22 in Hammond, Indiana during the Summerland Tour 2013 with EVERCLEAR, the clip — which can be seen below — features Patrick and Radtke giving a tour of FILTER's bus.
FILTER's sixth studio album, "The Sun Comes Out Tonight", was released on June 4 via Wind-Up Records. The CD was recorded in Los Angeles at Blue Room studios with producer Bob Marlette (BLACK SABBATH, ATREYU, SALIVA). The follow-up to 2010's "The Trouble With Angels" was written and recorded by leader Richard Patrick and guitarist Jonny Radtke, as well as collaborator Marlette. There are also performances from touring members Jeff Friedl and Elias Mallin (drums) and Phil Buckman (bass).
In a recent interview with ABC News Radio, Patrick said that the unique album title was inspired by his former drug use.
"In my lifetime, the sun definitely came out at night," he said. "I'm a recovering drug addict and a recovering alcoholic, but when I was taking drugs, there were a few nights where my blood turned into golden, beautiful sunshine. It was all chemical-based, and I knew it was a lie, but it was completely overwhelming, and it was like the sun had come out at night."
Patrick added that the CD deals with some heavy themes, which mirror issues that he's been forced to confront in his personal life. "Right now, I'm in a dark place," he explained. "I personally have been going through some really intense stuff and it's easy to just sit there and write about betrayal and no one listening, you know, so there's a lot of that on the record."
