Short Bus is the debut studio album by American rock band Filter, released on April 25, 1995, by Reprise Records. Lead singer Richard Patrick said in an interview that Trent Reznor had told him he should make his own record while he went off to work on Nine Inch Nails' 1994 album The Downward Spiral. Short Bus blends the industrial sound with grunge music. Similarly, "It's Over" was written about a mutual friend of the band who died by suicide, and was one of the first few songs written by the group.
