Army of Anyone
Army of Anyone was an American rock supergroup formed by Filter frontman Richard Patrick with two members of rock band Stone Temple Pilots. In addition to Patrick on vocals, the band featured brothers Dean DeLeo and Robert DeLeo (on guitar and bass respectively), and Ray Luzier, formerly of David Lee Roth's band (later Korn), on drums.
The band released one self-titled album in November 2006, which was well-received, but sold well short of the members' multi-platinum selling releases of their other bands, even despite the success of their first single, "Goodbye", which peaked at number three on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart.
After releasing a second charting single, "Father Figure", and touring in support of the album, the band went into hiatus in mid-2007, with members returning to their respective bands, except Luzier, who joined Korn. Despite being relatively inactive since 2007, all members have stayed in contact, and have independently shown interest in working on a second album if the logistics and scheduling of their commitments to other bands ever aligned.
The band's formation traces back to Richard Patrick and the DeLeo brothers taking breaks from their respective bands, Filter and Stone Temple Pilots. Shortly after releasing Filter's third album, The Amalgamut, Patrick checked himself into rehab in October 2002, ceasing all band activity and touring for the time being. Around the same time, in late 2002, Stone Temple Pilots broke up due to increasing problems with lead singer Scott Weiland and his issues with substance abuse.
Once out of rehab, Patrick began writing new material for a fourth Filter album. Upon Patrick hearing that Dean and Robert DeLeo had wanted to work with him on a song for the album, he invited them over to do so. The result of their meeting was a track called "A Better Place", and a twelve-hour jam session. Patrick felt so strongly about the music that he put the fourth Filter album on hold, despite his record label urging him to continue, in order to start a new band with the DeLeo brothers. Ray Luzier was called to audition after the DeLeo brothers were impressed with Ray's sound check at a show. Luzier joined the band later after a successful auditioning. The band's name "Army of Anyone", was chosen as an allusion to the members' past troubles with bands, with Patrick explaining "We are all in the fight of life together, united in an army of anyone".
Formal recording for the band's debut album commenced in 2005. They entered the studio with Bob Ezrin, the producer behind Pink Floyd's epic rock opera The Wall. The band had recorded more than 30 songs in Patrick's home studio, 11 of which would make their way on to their debut album.
The album was originally slated for an early 2006 release through Columbia Records. However, most of the personnel who backed them at the label were fired during the process of recording the album, making them opt to change their label. Instead, the band signed to The Firm Music, a division of the band's management company The Firm, Inc., in an effort to avoid typical record labels and go straight to distributors. Beyond the label switching, Patrick commented further delay was caused by personal commitments, such as members' families getting married and having children. During this time, they also opted to replace the album's original mix with ones done by sound engineer Ken Andrews. They were able to fit this into their schedules because they used Andrew's Pro Tools set-up at his house, rather than renting time at a high-budget studio.
The album, simply titled Army of Anyone, was finally released on November 14, 2006. The band's first single was the track "Goodbye", which gathered significant radio airplay, peaking at number 3 place in the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart. However, the second and final single, "Father Figure", failed to match that success, only peaking at number 31 in the same chart.
