“Dose” by Filter
From the album Short Bus (1995)
“Dose” by Filter appears on 2 radio countdowns from 2 stations between 1995 and 1999. It was first released in 1995 on the album Short Bus. Its best result is #913 on the KISW Top 1000 of All Time (1995). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #7,669 alternative song of all time.
"Dose" predates Filter's record deal. Richard Patrick, who wrote it on his own, had already demoed it, along with "Under", on his 8-track reel-to-reel before the band signed with Warner Bros., and it ended up on Short Bus, their debut, which Reprise released on April 25, 1995. Critter is credited with additional engineering.
Patrick had been a touring guitarist for Nine Inch Nails, and by his own telling it was Trent Reznor who urged him to go cut a record of his own while Reznor was off working on The Downward Spiral. Patrick and Brian Liesegang hatched the idea for a band on a hike at the Grand Canyon, and Filter was up and running in 1993. Not a bad outcome for a song that started life on a home tape machine.
