The group was originally formed by Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and twins Jon and Vince Votta, with Jon composing the music for the forthcoming album and Bumblefoot producing and engineering the effort.

Now the bad news for fans hoping for another Velvet Revolver; While the band recruited Weiland for the album, he says that he is not their permanent frontman and will not be touring with the group since he is focused on promoting "Blaster," the forthcoming album from his solo band Scott Weiland And The Wildabouts.

Weiland tells fans on Facebook, "I just saw some press about a side project called art of anarchy that I worked on last year - I wrote and put my vocals down for these guys and had fun doing a couple of videos too, we had a lot of fun. When they find their front man to hit the road and play some dates, check them out.

"In the meantime, if you want to check out where I'm at RIGHT NOW, check out my band, SCOTT WEILAND AND THE WILDABOUTS. I couldn't be more excited about our new record, Blaster, that comes out March 31st. You can see us on the road starting in Feb, and at Sundance next week and SXSW in March. Here's some footage of us in the studio performing White Lightning and a new song called Circles."
