Following Filter’s Green Stage performance at Sick New World in Las Vegas, SWOMP spoke with frontman Richard Patrick about the band’s current run and recent collaborations.
Listen, below:
Among them is Patrick’s guest appearance on “Blue Sky Mystery,” a recent single from Canadian rock band Finger Eleven, marking the first time the artists have worked together.
“Working with Scott, James, Rick, Sean and Steve could not have gone smoother. They are good guys and total pros,” Patrick said. “Recording ‘Blue Sky Mystery’ was a lot of fun.”
Filter released The Algorithm: Ultra Edition on Aug. 8 last year, a remixed and expanded version of its recent album featuring additional tracks, remixes and covers. The release includes the single “All The Good,” produced by Patrick alongside longtime collaborator Brian Virtue.
Formed in the mid-1990s after Patrick’s stint as a touring guitarist for Nine Inch Nails, Filter broke through with its debut album Short Bus and the single “Hey Man Nice Shot,” followed by further success with Title of Record.
