Stone Temple Pilots is working on a new album. The band hope to have the album, their sixth ready for release early next year. Singer Scott Weiland (also formerly with Velvet Revolver) commented recently about the album: "We've already got 18 songs written. We'll probably whittle it down to the best 12," he said. "But then there'll be a lot of other songs ready for the next record." STP reunited in 2008 after a six year layoff during which Weiland recorded 2 albums with Velvet Revolver and released 2 solo albums.
