It's been a long 6 years since we had anything new out of Los Angeles based industrial metal band Filter but now that the DeLeo brothers have gone back to Stone Temple Pilots and the Army of Anyone gig is on hiatus, Richard Patrick and his bandmates are back with a new album and a new tour. I had a chance to talk about the tour and the album with Filter bassman John Spiker, whose filling in for Frank Cavanugh while he serves a tour in Iraq. Filter is midway through a tour that have seen them over in the war zone with Operation Myspace, then Europe and finally North America. Starting the North American leg of the tour in Austin they will be swinging through Toronto tomorrow giving our staff a chance to review and shoot the show.
