Filter, the publication that promises us that "Good music will prevail," is a seasonal American music and off-beat entertainment magazine for the intelligent reader. It features sharp commentary and even sharper photos of up-and-coming musicians without the need to pander to a certain demographic. Each season's (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Holiday) issue highlights a more well-known cover artist while also taking a look at smaller bands under the heading "Getting to Know." The magazine also includes reviews of forthcoming albums and DVDs, articles on more settled bands, and interviews with filmmakers ranging from actors to writer-directors. A collection of magazines A magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles, generally financed by advertising and/or purchase by readers. ...

Filter prides itself on being a magazine for people who love music, and a certain kind of music at that. "With the demise of radio, and the rise of teen pop sensations, finding new and creative artists has become increasingly frustrating," says Filter on its website. The publication helps to bring indie music to the forefront without having to run articles on the bands holding the top five slots of the Billboard charts. It brings intelligent discussion from knowledgable "scribes" to the table and trusts that its readers will be able to tell the difference. Indie rock is a subgenre of rock music often used to refer to bands that are on small independent record labels or that arent on labels at all. ...


Filter is published by Alan Miller and Alan Sartirana. The Editor-in-Chief is Gregg LaGambina, Associate Editor is Chris Martins, and Art Director is Eric Almendral.

The first is essentially a correction filter, holding back the blue and increasing contrast out of doors when the lighting is such that shadows are cast (these shadows are predominantly blue, as they are mainly lighted by diffuse light from the blue sky, and they are darkened somewhat by the filter.
The green filter was supposed to cure that, and you can still read in filter catalogs that it does, even though it did nothing of the sort and the problem went away with the introduction of balanced pan emulsions in the late 'thirties.
Filters in the '80' series are pure light blue, changing a pan emulsion to something reminiscent of an ortho one, brightening blue and darkening everything else.
