Stone Temple Pilots Guitarist Dean DeLeo Releases Solo Album Featuring Pete Shoulder
Guitar virtuoso Dean DeLeo has taken a step back from his work with Stone Temple Pilots to explore a new musical path with a band called One More Satellite. This fresh ensemble is set to release their debut self-titled album on July 18th, which will be available through Symphonic Records. Joining forces with vocalist Pete Shoulder, DeLeo and Shoulder bring a range of musical influences to the table to create a unique sound that is sure to captivate audiences.
The latest track from the upcoming album, titled “Can of Worms,” gives listeners a taste of the diverse musical styles that can be found within the album’s ten tracks. Shoulder describes the song as being about “courting chaos” and the irresistible urge to pursue something despite the potential consequences.
Initially conceived as an instrumental project, the album took on a new life when DeLeo collaborated with Shoulder. The original plan for Shoulder to contribute vocals to one or two songs quickly evolved into his involvement in eight out of the ten tracks on the record. This collaboration brought a new dimension to the music and created a synergy that elevated the project to new heights.
Featuring guest appearances from notable musicians like STP’s Eric Kretz, Brian Tichy, and DeLeo’s own daughter June, the album showcases a variety of musical talent. The songs cover a range of themes and emotions, from the introspective “Paper Over The Cracks” to the anthemic “Vultures” and the haunting “Long Way Down.” Each track is a testament to the creative energy and talent of the musicians involved.
In addition to his work with One More Satellite, DeLeo continues to juggle multiple projects, including plans for a tour with Stone Temple Pilots in 2025 and a second album set for release in early 2026. Fans of DeLeo’s music can look forward to experiencing the new release in various formats, including digital, CD, and vinyl. Special merchandise such as posters and shirts are also available for those who want to show their support for the band.
In conclusion, Dean DeLeo’s collaboration with Pete Shoulder in One More Satellite promises to deliver a diverse and engaging musical experience for listeners. With a range of influences and guest appearances, the album is set to capture the attention of music lovers everywhere. Stay tuned for the release of their debut album on July 18th and get ready to embark on a musical journey unlike any other.
