Army of Anyone

Army of Anyone was the kind of supergroup that looks great on paper and, for once, sounds good on record too. Richard Patrick, the frontman of Filter, teamed up in Los Angeles in 2005 with brothers Dean DeLeo on guitar and Robert DeLeo on bass from Stone Temple Pilots, plus drummer Ray Luzier, who had played in David Lee Roth's band. The self-titled album arrived in November 2006, and you can hear both parent bands in it: the DeLeos' muscular, melodic riffing wrapped around Patrick's raw, clenched-jaw vocals.

The first single, "Goodbye", got to number three on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, and "Father Figure" followed it onto the radio. The album was well-received, but it sold nowhere near what the members' old bands had moved. After touring behind it, the group went on hiatus in mid-2007: Patrick and the DeLeos went back to their day jobs and Luzier joined Korn. They've all stayed in touch and each has said they'd like to make a second album if their schedules ever line up.
