Stone Temple Pilots Announce New Self-Titled Album for March 16

Stone Temple Pilots has announced a March 16 release date for its highly anticipated new self-titled album, Stone Temple Pilots. This marks the band’s first album with the new lead singer, Jeff Gutt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weG9H011Kxo

Despite being one of the best-selling bands of the 1990s with platinum records and a Grammy to its credit, guitarist Dean DeLeo says, “We are thrilled about what lies ahead. The best way for us to honor our past is to keep making new music.”

The band does just that on Stone Temple Pilots. The first single “Meadow” and “Never Enough” channels the gritty guitars and swaggering rhythms that STP perfected on Core (1992), Purple (1994), and No. 4 (1999). “Roll Me Under” glides along a nimble bass line before slamming into the chorus, where Gutt’s baritone digs in.

Pre-order the album today at https://rh-ino.co/stmp. Exclusive bundles are also available on the website, including vinyl, t-shirt, and a limited edition, hand signed lithographs by the band. The album will also be released on vinyl on May 25.

When asked what to expect on the upcoming tour, Robert DeLeo says,” With so much time and experience gone by in life we feel compelled to dig back into a 30-year catalog and really try to reflect and choose what songs haven’t been performed live. We want to give people who have come to see us in the past a chance to hear something they haven’t heard before at previous STP shows. We want to celebrate this time in our lives with our performances.”

Stone Temple Pilots track list:

Middle Of Nowhere
Guilty
Meadow
Just A Little Lie
Six Eight
Thought She’d Be Mine
Roll Me Under
Never Enough
The Art Of Letting Go
Finest Hour
Good Shoes
Reds & Blues

Like A Storm performed on night three of Shiprocked on the open water after a day at Half Moon Cay in The Bahamas. If anyone says that digeridoos don’t belong in rock, kindly point them to Like A Storm. Although the sea was truly getting wild that night and it even caused some of the band to lose balance on stage, it didn’t stop the show.

It was a special night on Shiprocked for Stereo Satellite as it was the band’s first live performance. Combining members of Adrenaline Mob, Disturbed and Rockstar Supernova, Stereo Satellite aimed to make a good first impression. Lucas Rossi said that this is the last band he will ever be in and he gave the impression that he’s all in with this new group. Here’s hoping they can make 2018 a year to remember with their best foot forward starting on Shiprocked.

LAS RAGEOUS Music Festival
Announces Updated Performance Lineup

Otherwise & New Years Day Join
A Perfect Circle, Five Finger Death Punch, Ghost, Judas Priest & more
Friday, April 20 & Saturday, April 21
At The Downtown Las Vegas Events Center

Sin City’s premier rock and metal festival, Las Rageous, has released an updated performance lineup with the addition of hometown heroes Otherwise, along with goth-rock royalty New Years Day. Coming to the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center for its highly anticipated second year on Friday, April 20 and Saturday, April 21, the Live Nation-created music festival will take over two square blocks, in the heart of iconic downtown Las Vegas.

Otherwise and New Years Day join an already exciting lineup of both rock and metal icons and impressive newcomers. Festivalgoers can expect to hear fan favorites and possibly new music from Sin City mainstay and Saturday night headliner Five Finger Death Punch (who recently released their greatest hits album, A Decade Of Destruction), and an eclectic set from A Perfect Circle that may include their brand new song, “Disillusioned.” Additionally, fans hope to hear new tracks from NWOBHM staple Judas Priest, legendary hard rock group Clutch, Pop Evil and Saxon, who all have albums set for release in the coming months. There will be memorable spectacles from In This Moment and Ghost; killer performances from Black Star Riders (featuring members of Thin Lizzy), masked rap rock kings Hollywood Undead, and DED, who just released a music video for their new single “Hate Me,” along with music from metalcore heavyweights Underoath and Beartooth, Los Angeles breakouts VYCES and Bad Wolves, up-and-coming blues-rockers Joyous Wolf, and Vegas’ own Adelitas Way.

Keeping up with Las Vegas’ long history of birthing some of the rock and metal genres’ most impressive breakout acts– including Las Rageous performers Five Finger Death Punch, Otherwise and Adelitas Way— Las Rageous has teamed up with KOMP-FM and Smash Magazine to provide local bands the opportunity to open this year’s festival. To enter in the ‘Battle of the Fans,’ bands must register before January 31 at http://ymlpsend6.com/mmbbaaaebwusafayjmapaeuhqb/click.php. The first round of dates will be held on March 9 and March 10, and finals will take place March 24 at Hard Rock Live, located on the Vegas strip. Rules and regulations can be found at http://ymlpsend6.com/mmbhaxaebwusatayjmalaeuhqb/click.php
With only 10,000 tickets available for purchase, Las Rageous offers the rare opportunity for fans to enjoy a festival experience in an intimate outdoor setting. Located just off Las Vegas Boulevard at Third and Carson Streets, Las Rageous will take over two city blocks of the historic downtown area. All ages are welcome and doors open at 4:00 p.m., with headliners taking the stage at approximately 10:00 p.m.

All tickets available for purchase are 2-day festival tickets for both Friday and Saturday. Two day festival tickets are currently available for $127 (plus fees). VIP tickets are also available starting at $366 (plus fees), and include private viewing from a platform and onsite parking.

Las Vegas’ Adelita’s Way performed for the second time at Shiprocked on the full day at sea. In the midst of the all-day party that was the final full day of Shiprocked, the band addressed their music to specific groups including those that protect our country in the line of duty. Many people who met the band on the boat said that Rick is a big proponent of saying “Vegas Strong” and it’s clear he loves his city and supports his fellow Vegas family.

After leaving Half Moon Cay on day three of Shiprocked, Beartooth closed out the night on the deck stage. Many passengers felt that Beartooth had one of the best performances of all Shiprocked 2018. Maybe it was the setting, maybe it was the intensity from Caleb Shomo. Regardless of the reason, they tried to bring the boat down.
