• Stone Temple Pilots's Scott Weiland Announces Album Release Date, Solo Tour [SCHEDULE]

    Former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland has announced the release date of his upcoming album "Blaster" as well as a string of tour dates in support of the album beginning in late February. According to an interview with "Rolling Stone," "Blaster" is set for release March 31 through Softdrive Records and will be Weiland's first album with his new backing band The Wildabouts. The tour in support of "Blaster" kicks off Feb. 22 in Scottsdale, Arizona, and finishes March 14 in Boston, though Weiland will be appearing at several festivals between March and May as well. "Blaster" will be Weiland's third solo album overall, his first since 2008's "'Happy' in Galoshes," as well as his first since being fired from the Stone Temple Pilots in 2013 — he was ultimately replaced by Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. "'"Happy" in Galoshes' was an experimental art record, for the most part," Weiland tells "Rolling Stone." "'Blaster' is definitely a band sound: a stripped down, furry sound with a lot of space between the notes. But it's tight and to-the-point while keeping that garage rock vibe to it."

  • Lana Del Rey and Sam Smith Clash for Top Spot on Billboard 200

    The last two weeks have featured a noticeable lack of new albums within the 200, debuting only three new records to the public (Led Zeppelin rereleases don't count). The last week of tracking reversed the trend in a big way however, bringing six new titles to the market.

  • Linkin Park, Thirty Seconds to Mars and AFI Touring Together

    Three rock bands that toe the line between alternative and mainstream rock will be teaming up this summer for a solid tour: Linkin Park, Thirty Seconds to Mars and AFI will take part in what's being called the "Carnivores Tour." We apologize for the crappy descriptor in the opening sentence, but that's really about all the bands have in common from a musical perspective...unless you know some more in-depth details about the groups involved.

  • Linkin Park Releases Remix Set Featuring Pusha T, Rick Ross, Bun B and More

    New music isn't coming from Linkin Park anytime soon. Vocalist Chad Bennington is currently shacking up with the Stone Temple Pilots to create a new record and tour, and LP isn't looking to bring anyone else in, so fans will have to look forward to Recharged, an album containing remixed versions of the tracks on the band's 2012 LP Living Things.
