"STONE TEMPLE PILOTS" - the Grammy Award-winning band's first all-new collection in close to a decade - sees one of rock's greatest bands continuing to explore their enduring approach to music - melding big riffs, classic pop hooks, and the restless experimentalism of glam, punk, and psychedelia. Among many highlights on "STONE TEMPLE PLIOTS" is the raucous first single, "Between The Lines." The track has proven a rock radio sensation, recently spending four weeks as the No 1 track at Mainstream Rock radio outlets nationwide, as well as three weeks atop the Modern Rock airplay charts. In addition, the "Between The Lines" companion video can be seen regularly on MTV2 and Fuse's No. 1 Countdown. What's more, a new single, "Take A Load Off," is set to impact at multi-format rock radio outlets everywhere later this month.
A companion video is currently in production.
A dominant force in rock music since the early '90s, Stone Temple Pilots proved one of the most accomplished and iconic bands of their generation, racking up 15 Billboard Top 10 singles - 6 of which hit No 1 - and total sales in excess of 35 million albums worldwide. The California-based band went on hiatus in 2002, following the release of the critically acclaimed "SHANGRI-LA DEE DA," ultimately reuniting for a massive 2008 concert tour encompassing more than 65 dates across North America.
Among their many accolades, Stone Temple Pilots received a "Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal" Grammy Award for their No 1 Mainstream Rock smash, "Plush." Other honors bestowed upon the band over the years include additional Grammy award nominations, two American Music Awards, one Billboard Music Award, two Billboard Video Awards, and an MTV Video Music Award.
