FILTER
ANNOUNCE ADDITIONAL U.S. TOUR DATES;
POLITICALLY-CHARGED SECOND SINGLE “WHAT’S NEXT”
BUILDING AT RADIO
As FILTER continues to tour and announce additional U.S. dates in support of their compelling ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED album on Pulse Recordings, their politically-charged new single “What’s Next” is building at radio. “What’s Next” follows the group’s “pro-troops, anti-war” debut single “Soldiers of Misfortune,” a fixture at rock stations nationwide.
“What’s Next” lashes out at war barons and Bush hardliners as frontman RICHARD PATRICK sings: “They just keep holding us back/Wish I could just see the attack/They just keep beating us down, down/It's time we took up a stand…'Cause right now we just don't realize/What’s next…Take the soldiers and put them in sand/Pull the child right from the man/It's not hard to get swallowed up/George Bush is fucking us up/See the lies that he has sown/Wash us up and he has us done…We don't know who to trust/They just keep swallowing us, We've got each other to trust.”
Says PATRICK: “We’ve got two oil men in the fuckin’ White House that have destroyed our country. And we can’t seem to recognize that as a culture. It just astounds me. So it’s a call to arms.”
Meanwhile, FILTER has added an additional leg of tour dates (July 27-August 15) to their in-progress U.S. trek, which began in New York City on May 13, the day the Josh Abraham-produced ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED–their first album in five years–was released. On the road, FILTER is performing songs from the new album–including “Soldiers of Misfortune,” hailed by the New York Post as a “soaring and emotional song”–with the band’s classics like “Hey Man, Nice Shot” and “Take A Picture.”
