Stone Temple Pilots is an American rock band from San Diego,California that consists of Scott Weiland (lead vocal), brothers RoberDeLeo (bass guitar, vocals) and Dean DeLeo (guitar), and Eric Kretz (drums, percussion).
After forming in 1986 under the name "Mighty Joe Young," the band found immediate success in 1993 after signing with Atlantic Records and releasing their debut album 'Core' (1992) under the STP moniker.
The band went on to become one of the most commercially successful bands of the 1990s,releasing four more studio albums: Purple (1994), Tiny Music From Vatikan (1996), 'No.4'(1999) and Shangrila De Da(2001) before separating in 2003, after which the band members partook in various projects, most notably Revolver and Velvet Army Of Everyone. STP eventually reconvened in 2008 for a reunion tour, released a new self titled album in 2010, and are currently planning an extensive reissue campaign for the 20th anniversary of Core in 2012.

While initially displaying a sound typically identified as "grunge" early on in its career, further releases from the band have shown a variety of influences, including 'psychedelic rock', bossa nova and classic rock.
The band's evolution throughout the 1990s and early 2000s involved
several tumultuous periods of commercial highs and lows, brought about
in part by Weiland's well-publicized struggles with drug addiction.
