Stone Temple Pilots are not wasting any time putting the wheels in motion with new singer Chester Bennington. The new STP lineup has revealed plans to hit the road this fall, in addition to a new EP to be released on their own label due out around the same time.
During an interview with Filter frontman Richard Patrick about the band's upcoming album 'The Sun Comes Out Tonight,' the musician shared an unnerving story about his wife. As Patrick's wife was driving her Prius, which sports a 'Ban Assault Weapons' bumper sticker, the singer says a car full of "God-proclaiming gun nuts" began to throw trash at her car, almost running her off the road.
After getting word earlier this year that Filter had signed to a new label and was working on a new album tentatively titled 'Gurney and the Burning Books,' the official title and release date have been announced. Now called 'The Sun Comes Out Tonight,' the album will be released June 4 via Wind-up Records.
Filter are one of the acts performing and taking part in various activities on the ShipRocked 2012 cruise, along with bands such as Five Finger Death Punch, Godsmack, Korn and many others.
Like a lot of musicians, Filter frontman Richard Patrick has seen his share of the dark side thanks to the excesses of his youth. The vocalist sat down with the KLAQ Morning Show in El Paso to discuss his past and how things have changed for the better since he got sober.
