Release Notes:

Fronted by lead singer/guitarist Richard Patrick, Filter emerged in 1995 with
the album Short Bus and breakthrough single, Hey Man, Nice Shot, which Rolling
Stone called,a timely combination of grunge heat and industrial ice, raw
emotion riding a steel pulse of digital rhythm. That hit, plus the song Dose,
represent the bands landmark debut on the career-spanning (to date)
compilation, The Very Best Things (1995-2008), Filters first-ever retrospective
set. Includes hits, rare radio edits, and sought-after soundtrack selections.

Richard Patrick (vocals, guitars, bass, programming, drums) and Brian Liesegang
(programming, guitars, keyboards, drums) both experimented with electronics
early in their careers. Patrick was a member of the original touring incarnation
of Nine Inch Nails. After NIN finished their lengthy first tour in the early
90s, Patrick and Liesegang met through a mutual friend and began to record
industrial rock together. Their debut album, Short Bus, released on Reprise in
1995, was recorded by the two at a small house on the outskirts of Cleveland.
Short Bus became a surprise hit, thanks to the MTV and alternative radio hit
Hey Man, Nice Shot by the end of the summer, the album had reached gold
status. In order to tour behind the record, the duo recruited guitarist Geno
Lenardo, bassist Frank Cavanaugh, and drummer Matt Walker. Liesegang departed in
1997 over creative differences, but Patrick retained the Filter name for 1999s
Title of Record, which eventually went platinum and spawned another radio/MTV
hit in the single Take a Picture. The album also included new drummer Steve
Gillis after Walker left to work with the Smashing Pumpkins. Filters third
album, The Amalgamut, followed three years later, after which the band went on a
bit of a hiatus. Around 2005, Patrick announced the formation of a new band,
Army of Anyone, which he created with former members of Stone Temple Pilots and
David Lee Roths touring band. However, Patrick did not abandon his original
band -- Filter returned in 2008 with Anthems for the Damned.
