JEFF GUTT Explains Why STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Haven’t Released Any New Music In Nearly Seven Years
Jeff Gutt says Stone Temple Pilots will write new music together when the time feels right, but the band is currently focused on individual projects. He explained that writing needs to happen organically rather than according to a fixed plan, and expects the process could move quickly once they reunite to work on songs.
Gutt is finishing a solo record he began before joining the group, while guitarist Dean DeLeo and bassist Robert DeLeo have also released music separately. The band’s last album, the acoustic *Perdida*, came out in February 2020; Gutt’s first recording with STP was their self-titled 2018 album. The group currently includes three original members: Robert and Dean DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz.
In short
- STP plans to write together when the timing feels natural.
- Gutt is finishing a record he started before joining.
- The band’s last album was 2020’s acoustic *Perdida*.
Explained simply
Stone Temple Pilots are an American rock band formed in the late 1980s. Their current line-up includes original members Dean DeLeo on guitar, Robert DeLeo on bass and Eric Kretz on drums, alongside singer Jeff Gutt, who joined before the band’s 2018 self-titled album.
The band’s most recent album, Perdida, was released in February 2020. Since then, Gutt and the DeLeo brothers have pursued music separately, while the band has not set a fixed timetable for writing together.
The gap matters to fans following how the group’s sound and line-up have changed over time. Gutt has said that new songs should come from the band working together when the moment feels right.
