DEAN DELEO's ONE MORE SATELLITE Announces Second Album, Shares 'Cry' Single

Guitarist and songwriter Dean DeLeo of STONE TEMPLE PILOTS has once again teamed up with acclaimed U.K. vocalist Pete Shoulder to release their second collaboration album, "One More Satellite".

With Shoulder residing in the U.K. and DeLeo in the U.S., the approach to this record was very much the same as the previous record. Dean would send song ideas to Pete and if he was digging it, Shoulder would add melodies and lyrics and proceed with tracking the song. The album was co-produced by close friend and longtime collaborator Ryan Williams.

Throughout the album's ten tracks, DeLeo's layered guitar work pairs seamlessly with Shoulder's vocals creating a dynamic musical landscape.

The biggest difference on this album from the last is that Dean's STONE TEMPLE PILOTS bandmate and brother, bassist Robert DeLeo, plays on five of the ten tracks, including the first single "Cry".

"His work on 'Stare Down the Sun' is really something incredible," says Dean. "I love my brother and [I am] thrilled that he is on this record."

Dean adds: "Years ago… Robert and I played in Joe Walsh's band for a tour. I've always loved Joe's playing and his songwriting. I learned a lot in those weeks with Joe. I bring this up because the lick in 'Cry' is very reminiscent of Joe, so thank you Mr. Walsh for the incredible music you have given to us. My brother Robert plays on this track along with Brian Tichy on drums. Pete, of course, as he always does, put forth a very satisfying melody and lyrics over this one."

ONE MORE SATELLITE played its first-ever shows in November 2025. Joining DeLeo and Shoulder at the three California gigs were Julia Lage on bass and Brian Tichy on drums.

DeLeo and Shoulder had previously collaborated on songwriting, including for the album "Lessons Learned" by Robert DeLeo. They've also worked together in the studio on projects, including a collaboration with STONE TEMPLE PILOTS and TRIP THE WITCH. Shoulder also collaborated with Robert DeLeo on the aforementioned "Lessons Learned" LP and co-wrote songs for it, including "Love Is Not Made Of Gold".

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS features three original members — the DeLeo brothers and drummer Eric Kretz.

In 2017, singer Jeff Gutt, a now-50-year-old Michigan native who spent time in the early-2000s nu-metal act DRY CELL, among other bands, and was a contestant on "The X Factor", joined STONE TEMPLE PILOTS after beating out roughly 15,000 hopefuls during an extended search that began more than a year earlier.

Original STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland, who reunited with the group in 2010 after an eight-year hiatus but was dismissed in 2013, died in December 2015 of a drug overdose.

Chester Bennington, who joined STP in early 2013, departed nearly three years later to spend more time with his main band LINKIN PARK. Bennington committed suicide in July 2017.
