"England’s classic street punk torchbearers The Filaments had a couple of solid releases under their belts before calling it a day in 2005 when their singer emigrated to the U.S. But with atrocities and injustice ripe for the railing against steadily building up, the band reformed a few years later. Look To The Skies is their first official coming out record since the reformation, and damn, is it a great one. A clarion call for the disenfranchised to wake up and speak out, this record could not have come at a better time." - New Noise 
Since The Filaments reformed in 2009, they’ve taken their long-established track record of amazing songwriting and energetic stage performances to new heights, and have been steadily attracting swaths of new fans across England, Europe and the world. With multiple full-lengths and countless tours under their belts, these veterans are still full of drive, and roaring to deliver this amazing new album to the world.
This music, like the band, is really one-of-a-kind. Almost like UK '82 style punk battered by a barrage of dub, 2-tone ska, psychobilly and even a bit of traditional Oi!/streetpunk. It creates an overall sound that is like nothing else; it has something for everyone, and a general appeal that gets people from all segments of the punk community dancing and singing along.
The Filaments are now absolute staples in the punk world, especially at the essential European festivals like Rebellion and Punk 'n’ Disorderly; but they have also graced the stage at larger outdoor getups like Glastonbury (UK), and others. They are as punk as it gets, but because their music is so unique and SO FUN, and their positive message is so clear, they are by no means 'too punk' to scare off the masses. In fact, their very clear message rings even louder, and they stand out even more amidst a backdrop of so much banality.
