Filter, remember the guys who brought us “Hey Man Nice Shot” and “Take A Picture”, are gearing up for a new album and a tour.

Richard Patrick revamped Filter shortly following his work with the side project Army of Anyone, which featured STP’s Dean and Rob DeLeo. The band’s first album in six years seems to be a political one. The first single, “Soldiers of Misfortune”, was apparently inspired by a Filter fan who joined the Army Reserve to pay for his college tuition, who sadly lost his life in Iraq.
Look for Anthems for the Damned on May 13.
Meanwhile, the band will be kicking off a tour on April 24 at Stubb’s in Austin and will wrap up in the States on June 1 at Boston’s WBCN’s River Rave.
Other stops include the May 17 Rock on the Range festival in Columbus and the May 31 KROCK show in Holmdel, NJ, where Patrick’s buddies STP will be headlining.
It looks like the band will then head to Europe for a few shows.
