New Stone Temple Pilots album in the works

A new Stone Temple Pilots album could come out next year.

That's according to a recent interview with STP drummer Eric Kretz in the Ventura County Star. Regarding a new Stone Temple Pilots album, Kretz said, "We’re maybe looking at putting out another record next year or touring some more and trying new ideas of how to present music, especially for downloading."

The new Stone Temple Pilots album would come only a year after the last STP album, a self-titled album that came out earlier this year. The last STP album before that was 2001's Shangri-La Dee Da.

The Stone Temple Pilots tour was postponed in September after Scott Weiland acted erratically on stage in Houston, but it resumed earlier this month. A new Stone Temple Pilots "Rock Band" song pack also came out last week.
