On March 16th, Stone Temple Pilots will release their first album since 2010. The self-titled release marks their first with new frontman Jeff Gutt.
Stone Temple Pilots collects a total of 12 tracks, including such titles as “Middle of Nowhere”, “Six Eight”, “The Art of Letting Go”, and “Good Shoes”. The initial single, “Meadow”, also appears on the tracklist, as does today’s newly revealed “Roll Me Under”, which can be heard below. It was reportedly one of the first songs written for the record.

“We are thrilled about what lies ahead,” guitarist Dean DeLeo said of the LP in a statement. “The best way for us to honor our past is to keep making new music.” For those unfamiliar, Gutt is the third singer to take on fronting duties. Founding member Scott Weiland led the group from its formation in 1989 until 2013, when he was replaced by Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington. Weiland died in 2015 and Bennington passed away just last summer.

To coincide with the album news, STP have also expanded their North American tour — their first with Gutt — to include additional dates in May. Of the new shows, the group’s Robert DeLeo noted, “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.” Grab tickets here.
