Filligar’s latest release The Nerve was nominated for Best Rock Album of 2012 at the Independent Music Awards. Says keyboardist Casey, “It’s an album that was conceived during sound checks and written to be performed.” Upon finishing the album, Filligar hit the road in their red van and toured across North America while living out of suitcases.
Live performance has become the band’s lifeblood. Boston music blog the RSL named Filligar one of the Top 8 Live Acts in America alongside fellow Windy City rockers Wilco.
