Paramore is an American rock band from Franklin, Tennessee, formed in 2004. The band consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, bassist Jeremy Davis, and guitarist Taylor York. The group released its debut album All We Know Is Falling in 2005, and its second album Riot! in 2007, which was certified Platinum in the US and Gold in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. Brand New Eyes, Paramore's third album, was released in 2009 and is the band's highest charting album to date.

On January 10, 2011, in an interview with MTV, Hayley Williams has said that despite the band losing two of its founding members, they will be releasing new music in 2011, though it is not known yet if they will manage to record a full album for release this year, or just release some songs. The singer also admitted that Paramore's style was likely to change with the new lineup, but clarified that the band would still retain their signature sound.[65]

On February 2, 2011, Josh Farro confirmed the name of his new band, Novel American.[66][67][68] Zac has also confirmed his new band, Half Noise.

On February 17, 2011, Hayley Williams has confirmed that the band will be hitting the studio upon returning from their South American tour, to record a batch of songs to be released over the summer, prior to a new full-length album that might follow late this year or in 2012. One of the new songs to be released include "In the Mourning", which Williams debuted on her Tumblr page.[69]

On March 21, 2011, Paramore stated on their various social networking accounts that they were entering a studio in Los Angeles with producer Rob Cavallo to record their next album.[70][71]

On June 3, 2011, Paramore released the single "Monster", featured on the Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack, on YouTube. This is the first song that the band released without the Farro brothers.[72]

On June 9, 2011, Hayley Williams announced that the band are starting to write their fourth album, which they hope to start recording at the end of the year, so it'll be ready for release in early 2012.

Stone Temple Pilots is an American rock band consisting of Scott Weiland (vocals), brothers Robert (bass guitar, vocals) and Dean DeLeo (guitar), and Eric Kretz (drums, percussion). The band ran from 1986 to 2003, when they went on hiatus, and reunited in 2008.[1]

The band's five albums have sold over 17.5 million copies in the United States alone and nearly 40 million albums worldwide.[2] The band have had fifteen top ten singles on the Billboard rock charts, including six number ones, and one number one album on the pop charts (1994's Purple). In 1994, the band won a Grammy for "Best Hard Rock Performance" for their song "Plush". Stone Temple Pilots were also ranked at number 40 on VH1's The 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.[3] In 2003, the band released the greatest hits compilation Thank You. Around this time, band members began going their separate ways. After the band's break-up in 2003, Weiland became the frontman of Velvet Revolver with former members of Guns N' Roses. The DeLeo brothers formed the band Army of Anyone with Richard Patrick of the band Filter. Kretz founded Bomb Shelter Studios in Los Angeles. [4]

The band reunited in 2008 after Weiland split from Velvet Revolver, kicking the tour off at the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio. The band is planning to begin recording their sixth studio album in November.

Break-up and reunion: 2003-present

Stone Temple Pilots broke up in 2003. The DeLeo brothers' most recent band, Army of Anyone, released its debut album on November 14, 2006. It features Ray Luzier, a session drummer, and Richard Patrick of the industrial rock band Filter. Army of Anyone went on indefinite hiatus in May 2007 after Richard Patrick announced he was working on a new Filter album, meaning that the band could possibly be defunct. Weiland joined the successful supergroup Velvet Revolver along with former Wasted Youth guitarist Dave Kushner, and former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Matt Sorum, and Duff McKagan. The band released two albums, Contraband (2004) and Libertad (2007).

According to Dean DeLeo, steps toward a reunion started with a simple phone call from Weiland's wife, Mary Forsberg. She invited the DeLeo brothers to play at a private beach party, which led to the reconciliation of Weiland and the DeLeo brothers.[2] In 2007 Dean DeLeo discussed with Weiland an offer from a concert promoter to headline several summer festivals. Weiland accepted and said he had cleared the brief tour with his Velvet Revolver bandmates. The singer said "everything was cool. Then it wasn't", and stated that the rest of the band stopped talking to him. As a result, Weiland announced in the middle of a Velvet Revolver show on March 21, 2008 that it would be his last performance with the group.[7] The following month the members of Stone Temple Pilots announced they were reuniting for a 65-date North American tour.[11] Prior to tour's start, Weiland was ordered by a court to serve an eight-day jail sentence stemming from charges the previous year for driving while intoxicated.[12]

In June 2008, Atlantic Records filed a lawsuit against Weiland and Kretz for trying to end their contract to the label early (the DeLeo brothers had been released from their contract in late 2003). While the band has fulfilled its six-album obligation to the label, Atlantic stated in its suit that it wants Stone Temple Pilots to record another album, in addition to two more albums if the label decides to release the records.
