While initially rising to fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s, further releases from the band expressed a variety of influences, including psychedelic rock, bossa nova, and classic rock. STP has released two albums with Gutt on vocals: its second self-titled album on Ma and eighth studio album Perdida on February 7, 2020. The band's only material with Bennington was the EP High Rise in 2013.

The band released four more studio albums: Purple (1994), Tiny Music. The band's debut album, Core, released in 1992, was a major commercial success and STP went on to become one of the most commercially successful bands of the 1990s, selling more than 18 million albums in the United States and 40 million worldwide. In 2016, the band launched an online audition for a new lead vocalist and announced Jeff Gutt as the new lead singer of the band on November 14, 2017.Īfter forming in 1989 under the name Mighty Joe Young, the band signed with Atlantic Records and changed its name to Stone Temple Pilots. Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington joined the band in May 2013 but left amicably in November 2015. The band's line-up remained unchanged from its formation in 1989 until the firing of Weiland in February 2013.
