from their sophomore release No Guts. No Glory.
The four man wrecking crew that is Airbourne, bring you the follow up to the Top 3 hit "No Way But The Hard Way."
Currently, No Guts. No Glory. is significantly out trending the bands debut album. In 9 short weeks the album has reached sales of 20,000 units already and continues strong.

Crash Test Dummies
"And It's Beautiful"
And It's Beautiful is the first single from the new Crash Test Dummies CD "Oooh La-La!". The song not only marks the re-emergence of the band after a hiatus of six years, but also effectively marks the first time that lead singer/songwriter Brad Roberts has ever written an out and out love song. "I've gone out of my way to not write love songs," explains Roberts. "I made an exception at this point in my life." People close to Roberts indeed may have done a double take upon hearing And It's Beautiful . "My backup singer Ellen [Reid - long time member of the band] was shocked when she saw the lyrics. She said 'What happened to Brad? Is he on ecstasy or something? He's never written a happy song in his life!'" Credit may partly go to Roberts' happy marriage, and credit may partly go to his producer and songwriting partner Stewart Lerman, but the result is a truly beautiful, guileless Crash Test Dummies song from a writer who has more than once approached the world with a somewhat skeptical eye.
Sara Bareilles
"King Of Anything"
Sara Bareilles is pleased to announce the release of, "King Of Anything" the highly anticipated first single off her forthcoming sophomore album.
"King Of Anything" which Sara wrote, was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by the renowned Neal Avron. The immensely addictive and charismatic pop driven track featuring Sara's extraordinary vocal prowess kicks off the official countdown to the untitled album's September release.
"'King of Anything' is sort of a 'f*ck you' song," jokes Sara Bareilles. "I've had more unsolicited advice on my life than I care to mention, and this was how I dealt with it. It felt empowering to turn that frustration into music, especially a song that doesn't even sound angry. That's sort of what "Love Song" was as well. Apparently, I don't get over things very quickly."
The single's release marks the first taste of new material following the massive success of Sara's debut album, Little Voice from which Sara received two Grammy nominations for her triple platinum selling hit single, "Love Song." The track enjoyed an astonishing 13 weeks in the Top 10 at pop radio, while the album has sold over 1 million copies worldwide, won accolades from press critics at places like Rolling Stone and the New York Times, and catapulted Sara to become one of the most interesting and promising new artists of 2009.
"Hey Yeah," the first single from the highly anticipated new album Bingo! is the first new studio material from the legendary Steve Miller Band.
A true return to Miller’s roots, BINGO! echoes his early years in the Chicago music scene and features carefully chosen and crafted tracks performed in distinctive Steve Miller Band fashion.
The album, Bingo! will be available everywhere on June 15th!

SARAH HARMER’S FIRST ALBUM IN FIVE YEARS, ‘OH LITTLE FIRE’ TO RELEASE 22 JUNE
FIRST SINGLE, ‘CAPTIVE’ ON CJLS RADIO TODAY
Sarah Harmer’s eagerly awaited new album, oh little fire, is set for a 22 June release (Universal Music Canada). The eleven track collection of originals is Harmer’s first album since 2005’s Polaris nominated, ‘I’m a Mountain’. Harmer spent much of the last several years away from music, advocating for environmental issues.
Harmer sings with a “beautiful, precise voice” (New York Times) on upbeat tracks such as first single, "Captive", but employed a new approach for the album. “I specifically tried to get out of the pastoral, contemplative end of the spectrum and went for a more direct, aggressive style of production,” she says. The result is a lyrically forthright and musically immediate album; with vibrant sounds enveloping Harmer's trademark delicate, enthralling vocals. oh little fire will be available for iTunes® deluxe pre-order from 13 April with a bonus offer of an exclusive acoustic version of “Captive”.
oh little fire was produced by Harmer and Gavin Brown (Metric) and recorded in Brown’s studio in an old building in the east end of Toronto; Harmer put the album together piece by piece through the heat of summer and the cold of the Canadian winter. Some parts were recorded with friends on Lake Ontario’s Wolfe Island and Neko Case’s vocal contribution for the song “Silverado” was captured in a Rochester, NY hotel room while they were on tour together. Metric's Jimmy Shaw provided guitar and vocals on additional songs.
Literally returning from her “wilderness years”, Harmer spent much of her time in between albums fighting for the environment, specifically for Ontario’s Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere, which continues to face threats from industrial aggregate development.
Harmer’s last album ‘I’m a Mountain’ was called “exceptional” by Time Magazine, while the New York Times praised her the songwriting as “lovely but cunning”, calling one track “the prettiest song about deception you'll hear all year.”

ORIANTHI
Following Her Hit
“According to You”
From Her Album
Believe
In Stores Now!
At 24 years old, Orianthi has already experienced what most aspiring musicians only dream of. She's opened for her hero (Steve Vai), backed an Idol (Carrie Underwood), traded solos with a legend (Carlos Santana) and shared the stage with the King of Pop (Michael Jackson). What's left to conquer? The world stage, for one, and this guitar wunderkind has her sights clearly set on the road ahead.
After a performance with Carrie Underwood on stage at the 2009 Grammy Awards the blogosphere was buzzing with news of this little-known guitar prodigy. It prompted Michael Jackson to call with an offer for her to be his guitarist for his dates at the O2 Arena in London. When offered the gig in Michael Jackson’s live band, Orianthi joined a prestigious line of guitar players including Eddie Van Halen, Santana, Slash, Steve Stevens, Jennifer Batten and Larry Carlton. Sadly the tour was not to be and music lost an icon. “Working with Michael was a life-changing experience,” Orianthi reflects, “One I will never forget.”
Her story starts in Adelaide on the southern tip of Australia where, at the age of six, Orianthi began taking an interest in her dad's record collection. "Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Cream, Santana… he was into guitar players that are real songwriters," she boasts. Growing up in the 80s, a decade remembered for its many guitar greats, Orianthi also listened to a lot of Whitesnake, Van Halen and Def Leppard. Her father, who used to be a player in a Greek band, also kept plenty of instruments around the house, and it didn't take long before Orianthi strummed her first chord. Mastering the six-string came naturally.
"When I was 11, Carlos Santana came to play Adelaide and that show really affected me," she recounts. “I begged my dad to get me a second hand electric guitar so I could be like Carlos, and that was it, no more acoustic. After that, I would buy all of Carlos' videos — on VHS! — which I kept rewinding to try and learn his solos. I totally wore out the tapes."
Some seven years later when Carlos Santana passed through Adelaide again
Carlos' brother arranged a sound-check meeting between the guitar god and his young disciple after hearing some of her music. A sound check jam evolved into an invitation to join him on stage where Orianthi played for about 35 minutes and took a solo in front of a hometown crowd. Performances, tours and guest appearances with Steve Vai, ZZ Top and Prince have kept Orianthi busy up to this point.
But guitar is far from Orianthi’s only means of expression. Before she received the call from the King of Pop, Orianthi had already been hard at work on her upcoming album, Believe, on which she sings, writes and leads her own band. Working with Geffen Records Chairman and A&R veteran Ron Fair and producer Howard Benson (All American Rejects, Daughtry, My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace) her fierceness of character has made its way to songs that will simply knock the socks off of any boy in the rock star schoolyard.
Orianthi packs modern girl-power punch into every turn of phrase, but it’s the shredding that takes her brand of rock to an entirely new level. Songs like “Suffocated” and “Think Like A Man” are anthemic rock tracks recalling at time Evanescence, Avril Lavigne, Paramore and even a less-music row more-sunset strip Taylor Swift. First single “According To You” is a catchy tale of an ungrateful boyfriend with a killer guitar solo. The result: a thunderous, hook and riff driven debut that sounds larger than life. If, for a moment, you’ve thought the music world could use another taste of The Runaways’ Joan Jett, let us introduce you to Orianthi.

Air Traffic Control
Time Comes
Air Traffic Control has built a great list of accomplishments and acclaim by way of their Debut self titled release and their second album "To Be Free" Already having been nominated for Alternative Album of the Year by the East Coast Music Association and Music Nova Scotia, Air Traffic Control hit the number one spot on The East Coast Countdown on several occasions, their music has been placed in Film, TV, a video game by EA Sports and their video for "At Any Cost" was shot by award winning director Annie Bradley and received rotation on Much Music.
Air Traffic Control is now preparing to release their third record "Can't Kill Love" which is slated to be out in April. "Can't kill Love" stands as a monumental achievement in Air Traffic Control's evolution. The album was recorded at Comstock Recording Studios, a facility that is run by brother/partner team of Kirk and Jordi and is situated in their home town of Lunenburg.
Front to back, "Can't Kill Love" is the kind of album great bands make - the kind that’s listenable from beginning to end. It has dynamic, organic guitars and heartfelt lyrics of life, love and loss from a front man who cites literary influences that include Henry Miller and Jack Kerouac; a surefire percussion section from a drummer that has been nominated by the Nova Scotian Music Association as Musician of the Year three years in a row; and a bassist who credits Peter Hook of Joy Division and New Order as his idol.
Already a known entity amongst industry insiders and music fans, and with a new record on the horizon, there’s no telling where "Can't Kill Love" will take these secret stars from small-town Lunenburg, set to play packed audiences in cities everywhere. If you haven’t heard of Air Traffic Control yet, now’s the time to listen.

New album coming in May!
Street but glamorous; fun yet determined; warm yet strong... and serious - serious about her career of singing, songwriting, and dancing. For anyone who’s met her, they know that that's the best description of 18 year-old Aleesia (A-lee-see-ah)!
Aleesia's artistry and vocal abilities are instantly recognizable. Singing from a young age, she knew it was her passion. And now, as a highly driven teenager, she is determined to share her talent with the world. Born in a suburb just north of Toronto, Canada, Aleesia grew up the youngest of three sisters in a family who only supported her love for music. The arts have always been a huge aspect of her life, as Aleesia is also an accomplished, award-winning, dancer who has trained and competed throughout North America. (You can witness this dance talent first hand on her “Bubble Gum” video.)
Currently, Aleesia is in the studio, recording her debut album release, with a creative team of writers, producers and musicians. Having recently completed high school, she is now focusing on her music. Her influences include Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Beyonce Knowles and Nelly Furtado, and her inimitable style can be described as a mix of pop, dance & r&b. Aleesia is a singular artist, who combines talent and skill with charisma, beauty, and passion. Anyone who sees or hears her perform can see that Aleesia lives the dance, breathes the music, and sings from the heart.
A natural born entertainer, her devotion to singing, writing, and dancing is the essence of her soul. Performing is not Aleesia's career, it's her life, and it is undeniably her destiny!

SARAH HARMER’S FIRST ALBUM IN FIVE YEARS, ‘OH LITTLE FIRE’ TO RELEASE 22 JUNE
FIRST SINGLE, ‘CAPTIVE’ ON CJLS RADIO TODAY
Sarah Harmer’s eagerly awaited new album, oh little fire, is set for a 22 June release (Universal Music Canada). The eleven track collection of originals is Harmer’s first album since 2005’s Polaris nominated, ‘I’m a Mountain’. Harmer spent much of the last several years away from music, advocating for environmental issues.
Harmer sings with a “beautiful, precise voice” (New York Times) on upbeat tracks such as first single, "Captive", but employed a new approach for the album. “I specifically tried to get out of the pastoral, contemplative end of the spectrum and went for a more direct, aggressive style of production,” she says. The result is a lyrically forthright and musically immediate album; with vibrant sounds enveloping Harmer's trademark delicate, enthralling vocals. oh little fire will be available for iTunes® deluxe pre-order from 13 April with a bonus offer of an exclusive acoustic version of “Captive”.
oh little fire was produced by Harmer and Gavin Brown (Metric) and recorded in Brown’s studio in an old building in the east end of Toronto; Harmer put the album together piece by piece through the heat of summer and the cold of the Canadian winter. Some parts were recorded with friends on Lake Ontario’s Wolfe Island and Neko Case’s vocal contribution for the song “Silverado” was captured in a Rochester, NY hotel room while they were on tour together. Metric's Jimmy Shaw provided guitar and vocals on additional songs.
Literally returning from her “wilderness years”, Harmer spent much of her time in between albums fighting for the environment, specifically for Ontario’s Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere, which continues to face threats from industrial aggregate development.
Harmer’s last album ‘I’m a Mountain’ was called “exceptional” by Time Magazine, while the New York Times praised her the songwriting as “lovely but cunning”, calling one track “the prettiest song about deception you'll hear all year.”

The New Single From
ORIANTHI
Following Her Hit
“According to You”
From Her Album
Believe
In Stores Now!
At 24 years old, Orianthi has already experienced what most aspiring musicians only dream of. She's opened for her hero (Steve Vai), backed an Idol (Carrie Underwood), traded solos with a legend (Carlos Santana) and shared the stage with the King of Pop (Michael Jackson). What's left to conquer? The world stage, for one, and this guitar wunderkind has her sights clearly set on the road ahead.
After a performance with Carrie Underwood on stage at the 2009 Grammy Awards the blogosphere was buzzing with news of this little-known guitar prodigy. It prompted Michael Jackson to call with an offer for her to be his guitarist for his dates at the O2 Arena in London. When offered the gig in Michael Jackson’s live band, Orianthi joined a prestigious line of guitar players including Eddie Van Halen, Santana, Slash, Steve Stevens, Jennifer Batten and Larry Carlton. Sadly the tour was not to be and music lost an icon. “Working with Michael was a life-changing experience,” Orianthi reflects, “One I will never forget.”
Her story starts in Adelaide on the southern tip of Australia where, at the age of six, Orianthi began taking an interest in her dad's record collection. "Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Cream, Santana… he was into guitar players that are real songwriters," she boasts. Growing up in the 80s, a decade remembered for its many guitar greats, Orianthi also listened to a lot of Whitesnake, Van Halen and Def Leppard. Her father, who used to be a player in a Greek band, also kept plenty of instruments around the house, and it didn't take long before Orianthi strummed her first chord. Mastering the six-string came naturally.
"When I was 11, Carlos Santana came to play Adelaide and that show really affected me," she recounts. “I begged my dad to get me a second hand electric guitar so I could be like Carlos, and that was it, no more acoustic. After that, I would buy all of Carlos' videos — on VHS! — which I kept rewinding to try and learn his solos. I totally wore out the tapes."
Some seven years later when Carlos Santana passed through Adelaide again
Carlos' brother arranged a sound-check meeting between the guitar god and his young disciple after hearing some of her music. A sound check jam evolved into an invitation to join him on stage where Orianthi played for about 35 minutes and took a solo in front of a hometown crowd. Performances, tours and guest appearances with Steve Vai, ZZ Top and Prince have kept Orianthi busy up to this point.
But guitar is far from Orianthi’s only means of expression. Before she received the call from the King of Pop, Orianthi had already been hard at work on her upcoming album, Believe, on which she sings, writes and leads her own band. Working with Geffen Records Chairman and A&R veteran Ron Fair and producer Howard Benson (All American Rejects, Daughtry, My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace) her fierceness of character has made its way to songs that will simply knock the socks off of any boy in the rock star schoolyard.
Orianthi packs modern girl-power punch into every turn of phrase, but it’s the shredding that takes her brand of rock to an entirely new level. Songs like “Suffocated” and “Think Like A Man” are anthemic rock tracks recalling at time Evanescence, Avril Lavigne, Paramore and even a less-music row more-sunset strip Taylor Swift. First single “According To You” is a catchy tale of an ungrateful boyfriend with a killer guitar solo. The result: a thunderous, hook and riff driven debut that sounds larger than life. If, for a moment, you’ve thought the music world could use another taste of The Runaways’ Joan Jett, let us introduce you to Orianthi.

Air Traffic Control
Time Comes
Air Traffic Control has built a great list of accomplishments and acclaim by way of their Debut self titled release and their second album "To Be Free" Already having been nominated for Alternative Album of the Year by the East Coast Music Association and Music Nova Scotia, Air Traffic Control hit the number one spot on The East Coast Countdown on several occasions, their music has been placed in Film, TV, a video game by EA Sports and their video for "At Any Cost" was shot by award winning director Annie Bradley and received rotation on Much Music.
Air Traffic Control is now preparing to release their third record "Can't Kill Love" which is slated to be out in April. "Can't kill Love" stands as a monumental achievement in Air Traffic Control's evolution. The album was recorded at Comstock Recording Studios, a facility that is run by brother/partner team of Kirk and Jordi and is situated in their home town of Lunenburg.
Front to back, "Can't Kill Love" is the kind of album great bands make - the kind that’s listenable from beginning to end. It has dynamic, organic guitars and heartfelt lyrics of life, love and loss from a front man who cites literary influences that include Henry Miller and Jack Kerouac; a surefire percussion section from a drummer that has been nominated by the Nova Scotian Music Association as Musician of the Year three years in a row; and a bassist who credits Peter Hook of Joy Division and New Order as his idol.
Already a known entity amongst industry insiders and music fans, and with a new record on the horizon, there’s no telling where "Can't Kill Love" will take these secret stars from small-town Lunenburg, set to play packed audiences in cities everywhere. If you haven’t heard of Air Traffic Control yet, now’s the time to listen.

New album coming in May!
Street but glamorous; fun yet determined; warm yet strong... and serious - serious about her career of singing, songwriting, and dancing. For anyone who’s met her, they know that that's the best description of 18 year-old Aleesia (A-lee-see-ah)!
Aleesia's artistry and vocal abilities are instantly recognizable. Singing from a young age, she knew it was her passion. And now, as a highly driven teenager, she is determined to share her talent with the world. Born in a suburb just north of Toronto, Canada, Aleesia grew up the youngest of three sisters in a family who only supported her love for music. The arts have always been a huge aspect of her life, as Aleesia is also an accomplished, award-winning, dancer who has trained and competed throughout North America. (You can witness this dance talent first hand on her “Bubble Gum” video.)
Currently, Aleesia is in the studio, recording her debut album release, with a creative team of writers, producers and musicians. Having recently completed high school, she is now focusing on her music. Her influences include Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Beyonce Knowles and Nelly Furtado, and her inimitable style can be described as a mix of pop, dance & r&b. Aleesia is a singular artist, who combines talent and skill with charisma, beauty, and passion. Anyone who sees or hears her perform can see that Aleesia lives the dance, breathes the music, and sings from the heart.
A natural born entertainer, her devotion to singing, writing, and dancing is the essence of her soul. Performing is not Aleesia's career, it's her life, and it is undeniably her destiny!
Stone Temple Pilots
“Between The Lines”
Stone Temple Pilots – Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz - have announced the release of their hugely anticipated self-titled new album. Produced by the band and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Billy Talent, Green Day, My Chemical Romance), STONE TEMPLE PILOTS – the Grammy Award-winning band’s first all-new collection in close to a decade – will arrive in stores and at all online retailers on May 25th.
A dominant force in rock music since the early ‘90s, Stone Temple Pilots proved to be one of the most accomplished and iconic bands of their generation, racking up 15 Billboard Top 10 singles – 6 of which hit #1 – and total sales in excess of 35 million albums worldwide. The debut single from STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, “Between The Lines,” illustrates how the band is as relevant today as they were in the '90s and just as likely to dominate.

Universal Music Canada Signs vivacious Girl Group GIRLICIOUS
TORONTO, ON – Thursday December 17, 2009 – Universal Music Canada (UMC), the country’s leading music company is pleased to announce the direct signing of dynamic girl group, Girlicious. Girlicious’ sophomore album is set for release March 2010. The deal was announced today by Randy Lennox, President and CEO, Universal Music Canada.
“We are pleased to have Girlicious become a part of our UMC Domestic Roster” said Randy Lennox. “Their extraordinary energy is thrilling to watch and be a part of. We look forward to their continued success in Canada and welcome them to the UMC family” commented Lennox.
“We are thrilled to be working with the UMC family on this upcoming record,” said Nichole Cordova of Girlicious. “Our fans in Canada have been so supportive and we feel like honorary Canadians each time we visit.”
Girlicious made a name for themselves with a hit reality TV series Pussycat Dolls Presents: Girlicious on MuchMusic and have garnered millions of YouTube views. They sold over 60,000 copies of their self-titled debut album in Canada, and their smash hit singles “Like Me” and “Stupid S***” are certified gold.

Crash Test Dummies
"And It's Beautiful"
And It's Beautiful is the first single from the new Crash Test Dummies CD "Oooh La-La!". The song not only marks the re-emergence of the band after a hiatus of six years, but also effectively marks the first time that lead singer/songwriter Brad Roberts has ever written an out and out love song. "I've gone out of my way to not write love songs," explains Roberts. "I made an exception at this point in my life." People close to Roberts indeed may have done a double take upon hearing And It's Beautiful . "My backup singer Ellen [Reid - long time member of the band] was shocked when she saw the lyrics. She said 'What happened to Brad? Is he on ecstasy or something? He's never written a happy song in his life!'" Credit may partly go to Roberts' happy marriage, and credit may partly go to his producer and songwriting partner Stewart Lerman, but the result is a truly beautiful, guileless Crash Test Dummies song from a writer who has more than once approached the world with a somewhat skeptical eye.
Sara Bareilles
"King Of Anything"
Sara Bareilles is pleased to announce the release of, "King Of Anything" the highly anticipated first single off her forthcoming sophomore album.
"King Of Anything" which Sara wrote, was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by the renowned Neal Avron. The immensely addictive and charismatic pop driven track featuring Sara's extraordinary vocal prowess kicks off the official countdown to the untitled album's September release.
"'King of Anything' is sort of a 'f*ck you' song," jokes Sara Bareilles. "I've had more unsolicited advice on my life than I care to mention, and this was how I dealt with it. It felt empowering to turn that frustration into music, especially a song that doesn't even sound angry. That's sort of what "Love Song" was as well. Apparently, I don't get over things very quickly."
The single's release marks the first taste of new material following the massive success of Sara's debut album, Little Voice from which Sara received two Grammy nominations for her triple platinum selling hit single, "Love Song." The track enjoyed an astonishing 13 weeks in the Top 10 at pop radio, while the album has sold over 1 million copies worldwide, won accolades from press critics at places like Rolling Stone and the New York Times, and catapulted Sara to become one of the most interesting and promising new artists of 2009.
"Hey Yeah," the first single from the highly anticipated new album Bingo! is the first new studio material from the legendary Steve Miller Band.
A true return to Miller’s roots, BINGO! echoes his early years in the Chicago music scene and features carefully chosen and crafted tracks performed in distinctive Steve Miller Band fashion.
The album, Bingo! will be available everywhere on June 15th!

It has dynamic, organic guitars and heartfelt lyrics of life, love and loss from a front man who cites literary influences that include Henry Miller and Jack Kerouac; a surefire percussion section from a drummer that has been nominated by the Nova Scotian Music Association as Musician of the Year three years in a row; and a bassist who credits Peter Hook of Joy Division and New Order as his idol.
Already a known entity amongst industry insiders and music fans, and with a new record on the horizon, there’s no telling where "Can't Kill Love" will take these secret stars from small-town Lunenburg, set to play packed audiences in cities everywhere. If you haven’t heard of Air Traffic Control yet, now’s the time to listen.

Street but glamorous; fun yet determined; warm yet strong... and serious - serious about her career of singing, songwriting, and dancing. For anyone who’s met her, they know that that's the best description of 18 year-old Aleesia (A-lee-see-ah)!
Aleesia's artistry and vocal abilities are instantly recognizable. Singing from a young age, she knew it was her passion. And now, as a highly driven teenager, she is determined to share her talent with the world. Born in a suburb just north of Toronto, Canada, Aleesia grew up the youngest of three sisters in a family who only supported her love for music. The arts have always been a huge aspect of her life, as Aleesia is also an accomplished, award-winning, dancer who has trained and competed throughout North America. (You can witness this dance talent first hand on her “Bubble Gum” video.)
Currently, Aleesia is in the studio, recording her debut album release, with a creative team of writers, producers and musicians. Having recently completed high school, she is now focusing on her music. Her influences include Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Beyonce Knowles and Nelly Furtado, and her inimitable style can be described as a mix of pop, dance & r&b. Aleesia is a singular artist, who combines talent and skill with charisma, beauty, and passion. Anyone who sees or hears her perform can see that Aleesia lives the dance, breathes the music, and sings from the heart.
A natural born entertainer, her devotion to singing, writing, and dancing is the essence of her soul. Performing is not Aleesia's career, it's her life, and it is undeniably her destiny!
Stone Temple Pilots
“Between The Lines”
Stone Temple Pilots – Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz - have announced the release of their hugely anticipated self-titled new album. Produced by the band and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Billy Talent, Green Day, My Chemical Romance), STONE TEMPLE PILOTS – the Grammy Award-winning band’s first all-new collection in close to a decade – will arrive in stores and at all online retailers on May 25th.
A dominant force in rock music since the early ‘90s, Stone Temple Pilots proved to be one of the most accomplished and iconic bands of their generation, racking up 15 Billboard Top 10 singles – 6 of which hit #1 – and total sales in excess of 35 million albums worldwide. The debut single from STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, “Between The Lines,” illustrates how the band is as relevant today as they were in the '90s and just as likely to dominate.
