Army of Anyone is a rock band formed by the former vocalist for the rock band Filter- Richard Patrick. The band also features former members from the stone temple pilots as well as the former drummer from David Lee Roth’s band. This is also the first major project that the Deleo brothers have done without former Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland since the band’s breakup in 2003.

The band was formed while Patrick was working on new material for a fourth Filter album in his home studio. Patrick managed to get the DeLeo brothers to help him with some new material for the album but was so impressed with their chemistry that they decided to form a new band. They got Ray Luzier to audition for the band as well and after a successful audition he too soon joined the band. The album was produced by Bob Ezrin, the producer behind Pink Floyd’s epic rock opera The Wall and Alice Cooper’s early hits.

The band was hoping for an early release in 2006 but personal reasons such as band members getting married and having children suspended the release for much of the year. During the break, the band decided to go into the studio once more and re-mix and re-master the album. The album finally was released in November. Their first single ‘Goodbye’ made it to satellite radio and Yahoo music in October. Since the release of the album, the band has been promoting it at radio stations across America. The band has also began to tour in hopes of promoting the album.

Army of Anyone plays songs from their first album as well as cover songs from both Filter and Stone Temple Pilots like “Vasoline” , “Big Bang Baby”, “Take A Picture” and “Hey Man, Nice Shot” as part of their set. You can also find a special promotion from the band on I tunes which includes their single “Goodbye” , the music video for the single and an exclusive podcast that features interviews with the band members discussing all of the tracks on the album. Their current single “Goodbye” can be heard on radio stations nationwide as well as our artist spotlight section of our media player.
