The Filtertips

About Me

The Filtertips are a four piece Indie/Punk band from Sheffield and the surrounding towns. Between them they have a wide range of influences. The band formed in late 2006 and started gigging early 2007.
In June 2008 the original drummer Graham decided he could no longer carry on the band because of his commitments to university. The remaining three teamed up with friend Max Ramsden who became their new drummer. The band have now come back stronger and more exciting than before gigging at such places as The Boardwalk and Doncaster's Vintage Rockbar. They have just started recording their second EP (first EP with new drummer Max).
If you would like to book the band, fill a gap or band swap please don't hesitate to MESSAGE or COMMENT them, and if you haven't already ADD them.
