Their debut album Blaster launches in March via EarMusic, with Weiland previously stating the material was a departure from his work with STP and Velvet Revolver. And he says the vibe in his new band is similar to his early days in the studio.

He tells Loudwire: "Core was my first album and so there was a real special and exciting vibe during the making of that album. This was very similar because I am starting from scratch again with a new band.
