Richard Patrick, second from left, is the heart and soul of Filter, whose sophomore CD is out now.
Filter releases CDs with unpretentious artwork on the liner notes yet with music that kicks butt.
A move that had a lot of people scratching their heads, wondering why Patrick would leave such a popular band. I did what anybody else would do. Filter is primarily Richard Patrick. However, it's Patrick who is the heart and soul of the band. He not only acts as Filter's lead singer but he also plays guitars, bass, drums and programs the instruments.
