Stone Temple Pilots is an alternative rock band that was formed in 1986 in San Diego, California. Originally known as "Mighty Joe Young," they later changed their name to Stone Temple Pilots, inspired by the STP Oil logo. With their unique sound and powerful lyrics, Stone Temple Pilots have become one of the most influential bands in the alternative rock genre.
Since their formation, Stone Temple Pilots have released several critically acclaimed albums and achieved commercial success with hits like "Plush," "Interstate Love Song," and "Vasoline." Their music combines elements of grunge, hard rock, and psychedelic rock, creating a distinctive sound that sets them apart from other bands.
With their energetic live performances and charismatic frontman Scott Weiland (1967-2015), Stone Temple Pilots have captivated audiences around the world. Despite facing challenges throughout their career, including lineup changes and personal struggles, the band has remained resilient and continues to create music that resonates with fans old and new.

Having scored a massive hit with their debut album, Core, Stone Temple Pilots returned to the same sludge-filled well for Purple, only to come up with an album that's harder, more concise, and filled with thunderous, punishing riffs. Headbangers will rejoice over the grinding guitars of "Meatplow," "Vasoline," "Lounge Fly," and "Unglued," but the album reveals far more than one dimension. They back off the throttle for the hushed (though still intense) "Pretty Penny," "Big Empty" puts a respectable spin on the phrase "power ballad," and the catchy, hook-filled "Interstate Love Song" asserts itself as one of the most memorable alt-rock singles of the '90s
