Lauded as “one of the best young bands in America,” up-and-coming rock band Filligar is a name to know in music. With eight recorded albums and more than 80 original songs, this Chicago-born and bred band consists of brothers Johnny, Pete, and Teddy Mathias and their long-time friend Casey Gibson. With influences as eclectic as the Rolling Stones to Radiohead, this group of twenty-somethings has already taken the stage with My Morning Jacket, The Cool Kids, and The Black Keys, while their most recent album, The Nerve, was nominated Best Rock Album at this year's Independent Music Awards.

Fresh off The Outlaw Roadshow with the Counting Crows, we caught up with Filligar to discuss their tour must-haves, habits, and highlights. Check out the slideshow for shots from the road, a Spotify playlist, and a music video for their song “Robbery.” For even more access to the band, check out this free download from their album or catch their show on July 27th at NYC's Gramercy Theater. —Sasha Levine (@sashalevine)
